France, 1942: Dora Schaul has lost everything to Hitler’s tyranny. Her dearest friends have vanished, her parents have been murdered in the camps, and she has no idea if her beloved husband, Alfred, is still alive. Broken but fiercely resilient, Dora refuses to sit idly by while the world burns around her.
Joining the underground French resistance, Dora takes on the most dangerous mission of her life: going undercover as a secretary inside the Gestapo headquarters in Lyon.
Working directly under a notorious, cold-blooded Gestapo chief, Dora’s task is to leak highly classified lists of SS officers to the British press. Every single day, she forces a smile, fetches tea, and plays the role of a harmless, compliant assistant. But beneath her quiet typing lies the beating heart of an enemy operative. When a high-level leak throws the headquarters into lockdown, the chief calls Dora into his office. With her life hanging by a thread, she must play the ultimate game of survival.
Based on the incredible true story of Dora Schaul, this heart-wrenching WWII novel is perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network, and stories of unimaginable female courage.
