‘The master storyteller’ – The Times

‘This fresh concept is carried off with effortless skill’ – Barry Forshaw

Jackdaws by Ken Follett is an irresistible novel about the French Resistance – a story of love, courage and revenge in the Second World War.


A Failed Mission
Two weeks before D-Day, the French Resistance try to destroy a telephone exchange vital to Nazi communications. Heavily defended, the mission fails disastrously.

A Daring Plan
With invasion looming, Flick Clairet, a British secret agent, proposes a daring but perilous new plan. She, along with an all-female team – the Jackdaws – will infiltrate and neutralize the exchange before Allied forces land in France.

A Race Against Time
However, unbeknownst to Flick, a German army officer has assigned a brilliant spy-catcher – Dieter Franck – to crush the French Resistance. And now Franck is closing in . . .

Ken Follett was born in Cardiff, Wales. Barred from watching films and television by his parents, he developed an early interest in reading thanks to a local library. After studying philosophy at University College London, he became involved in centre-left politics, entering journalism soon after. His first thriller, the wartime spy drama Eye of the Needle, became an international bestseller and has sold more than 10 million copies. He then astonished everyone with his first historical novel, The Pillars of the Earth, the story of the building of a medieval cathedral, which went on to become one of the most beloved books of the twentieth century. One of the most popular authors in the world, his many books, including the Kingsbridge series and the Century trilogy – a body of work that together chronicles over a thousand years of history – have sold more than 188 million copies. A father and husband, Ken lives with his wife in England and enjoys travelling the world when he can.
