“An extraordinary profile of immense courage and daring.”—Chanel Cleeton, New York Times bestselling author of Before We Left Cuba “If you only read one WWII book this year, make it this one."—Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling 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 bestselling 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.

"Virginia Hall was a 5 star human being, and the author deserves her 5 star rating too for bringing the history of this remarkable woman to life. I absolutely adored Virginia, but she stands on her own without the need of characterization. I will absolutely be reading nonfiction accounts of her life, because this is someone we should be upholding.<br/><br/>But that being said, I enjoyed this for the story as well. The author did a great job of weaving real life accounts into this novel, and the story flowed beautifully as the war progressed, with excellently timed flashbacks. I can not recommend this novel enough and I can’t wait to read more from this author!"
