Publisher's Summary

"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.

An unforgettable book!" (Chanel Cleeton)

Very well portrayed

This well-written book based on the remarkable life of an American spy in France during WW2 is so ably read and conveyed through the narrator’s great skill with languages, voices, accents, and tone. It was easy to imagine life during this dark era in history.
