Synopsis

At just 19, Kurt Mueller was keen to prove himself in the service of his country as a pilot with the famed Jagdgeschwader 26 Fighter squadron based in France. Kurt was looking forward to his first mission. That mission had come to an abrupt end when he bailed out over Southern England in the summer of 1940. Now he was alone with little prospect of return to France. The last thing he expected was to fall in love, least of all with a girl who was his enemy. But fate had other ideas.

Landing in a remote area, he witnessed the crash of a British fighter that had been involved in the dog fight, and girl cyclist who had been injured by flying metal from the explosion. She was unconscious and bleeding. His selfless act in helping her was not witnessed, but he used his scarf to stop the bleeding which had unforeseen consequences.

Kurt's impulsive intervention to save a local farmers wife from a rapist had elevated him to local hero status. And before too many questions were asked, a German double agent provides him with fake Identity papers.

However, it soon becomes clear that the Germans want something in return. Before long, Kurt is embroiled in a world of espionage, counter espionage, murder, and betrayal. He gets tangled up with a beautiful blonde killer with a hatred for the English, whose murderous actions bring unwelcome attention from MI5 agents. When the expected invasion of Britain is postponed and then cancelled, Kurt's usefulness to the spy ring is questioned. He finds himself desperate to stay one step ahead of both sides as events threaten to spiral out of control. The White Silk Scarf is a fast moving thriller set against the background of wartime Britain. It is a story where the dividing lines between right and wrong, good and evil have become blurred. It is also the story of a trusting and naive 17 year old girl and a dashing young fighter pilot who fall in love at the worst possible time and the worst possible location.
