"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.

BASED ON AN INCREDIBLE AND BESTSELLING TRUE STORY: This is the first time anyone's written a novel about Virginia Hall-subject of the NYT nonfiction bestseller A Woman of No Importance (Viking, 2019)-the Baltimore woman first rejected from the US Foreign service because an injury left her with one leg, who went on to become a secret agent who helped change the course of the war
A COMEBACK FOR ERIKA: Erika started her career with national bestsellers Hemingway's Girl (2012) and Call Me Zelda (2013) before moving to hardcover with the wrong idea. This book goes back to her strengths and we are publishing as trade original, which is the perfect format for this audience

FANS IN HIGH PLACES: Erika is deeply rooted in the historical fiction community, and authors such as Pam Jenoff, Kristina McMorris, Lee Woodruff, and Stephanie Dray are big supporters
