Tamar-Mal Peet

In 1943 a man code name Tamar is dropped into Nazi occupied Holland. Decades later in the mid 1990s his granddaughter (called Tamar) is trying to find out more about her dead grandfather when she comes across a box with her name on it it contains money, some odd bits, and a map of the Tamar Valley. Is this linked to her fathers dissaperance 3 years ago?  What do these clues mean ? Why did her grandfather leave her this? What will she find when she goes to Devon? What was her Grandfathers role in the war? Is there some bigger mystery forgotten in the intervening decades? I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 12 because the plot is quite complicated. My advice to anyone reading this is to keep reading as the story takes a while to get going.
