Den nya generationen Lauritzen kliver fram. I centrum står äldsta dottern Johanne. Redan i början av kriget arbetade hon som kurir åt den norska Hjemmefronten. Nu befinner hon sig i Stockholms illegala värld av spioneri, svek och förräderi, rekryterad av den brittiska spionorganisationen SOE. Hon befordras till kaptens grad i den brittiska armén. Efter en rad spektakulära sabotageinsatser får hon ansvar för den största och viktigaste operationen: att rädda Norges judar på flykt undan Förintelsen. Britternas kodnamn för Johanne Lauritzen är Blå stjärnan. I den femte delen av berättelsen om familjen Lauritzen gör Jan Guillou ett gästspel i sin mästargenre – spionromanen. Tiden är densamma som i Att inte vilja se, men vi möter en helt annan och sällan skildrad verklighet av andra världskriget.
Author
Jan Oscar Sverre Lucien Henri Guillou (born 17 January 1944) is a Swedish author and journalist. Among his books are a series of spy fiction novels about a spy named Carl Hamilton, and a trilogy of historical fiction novels about a Knight Templar, Arn Magnusson. He is the owner of one of the largest publishing companies in Sweden, Piratförlaget, together with Liza Marklund and his common-law wife, publisher Ann-Marie Skarp. Guillou's fame in Sweden was established during his time as an investigative journalist. In 1973, he and co-reporter Peter Bratt exposed a secret intelligence organization in Sweden, Informationsbyrån (IB). He is still active within journalism as a column writer for the Swedish evening tabloid Aftonbladet. In October 2009, it was revealed that Guillou had been recruited by the KGB in 1967. The exposure of his activities came after the tabloid Expressen requested the release of documents from the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) and published information from the Säpo files along with information gained through interviews with former KGB Colonel Oleg Gordievsky about Guillou's case. The records showed that Guillou's involvement with the KGB continued for five years, until 1972. From Wikipedia
