Thriller | Suspense Spy
Set in Europe, in 1938, during the tense run-up to war,
and perfect for fans
of Jacqueline Winspear, Charles Todd, Robert Harris, and
Susan Elia MacNeal,
this gripping historical novel features the half-British,
half-German actress
(and wholly covert spy) Clara Vine, who finds herself
enmeshed in a dangerous
game of subterfuge. The colorful, lively streets of Paris come as a welcome
relief to Clara Vine
after the dour countenance of Berlin, where bunkers and
bomb shelters are being
dug, soldiers march the streets in their high boots, and
Jewish residents rush
to make it home before curfew. Though Clara is in Paris to
make a film, her true
work is never far from her mind. Approached by a British
intelligence officer,
Clara is initially confounded by his request: Get close to
Eva Braun and glean
as much as she can about the Führer’s plans and intentions.
Clara has already
established friendships with several high-ranking Nazi
wives, but Eva Braun is
another matter altogether. Hitler keeps his “secret”
girlfriend obsessively
hidden, fiercely guarding their relationship as well as
Eva’s delicate
psychological state. From the gilded halls of the decadent City of Light to the
cobbled, quaint
streets of Munich, and even to the chilling, rarefied air
of the Berghof,
Hitler’s private mountaintop retreat, Clara flirts with
discovery at every turn—
and a dangerous, devious plot unfolds.
