"An extraordinary profile of immense courage and daring." (Chanel Cleeton, New York Times best-selling author of Before We Left Cuba)

"If you only read one WWII book this year, make it this one." (Natasha Lester, New York Times best-selling author of The Paris Orphans)

In the depths of war, she would defy the odds to help liberate a nation...a gripping historical novel based on the remarkable true story of World War II heroine Virginia Hall, from the best-selling author of Hemingway's Girl

France, March 1944. Virginia Hall wasn't like the other young society women back home in Baltimore - she never wanted the debutante ball or silk gloves. Instead, she traded a safe life for adventure in Europe, and when her beloved second home is thrust into the dark days of war, she leaps in headfirst.

Once she's recruited as an Allied spy, subverting the Nazis becomes her calling. But even the most cunning agent can be bested, and in wartime trusting the wrong person can prove fatal. Virginia is haunted every day by the betrayal that ravaged her first operation, and will do everything in her power to avenge the brave people she lost.

While her future is anything but certain, this time more than ever Virginia knows that failure is not an option. Especially when she discovers what - and whom - she's truly protecting.

Beautifully Written

Fabulous detail, perfect narration, a thought provoking story of unsung heroes and their surprisingly valiant leader. Loved it.

Loved it. Narration is excellent. Compelling story

A testament to a plethora of incredibly brave people. A reminder of the horrors of world wars and how amazingly evil the Nazi regime and collaborators were.

Engagement story about an unknown heroine

The story in the narration brought this previously unknown heroine to life. I am now fascinated by her and will be looking for nonfiction.

Fantastic

This was a great book! Worth my time and money! The characters were well developed and relatable. This is one of those books that is so good I’m actually sad it’s now ended. It’s not easy finding outstanding reading material yet this is for sure one!

Fascinating historical fiction

although the large cast of characters were at times a challenge, the story moved swiftly along and I appreciated. the epilogue tying up many loose ends, lost charactrers in the novel. I am looking forward to another of the authors books.

Amazing story telling

This book was told in a way that it captures your attention and it’s hard to put down. Both the way the other writes and the way the voice actress tells the story is beautiful. I highly recommend this book and this voice actress!
