An unforgettable and "fascinating tale" of an orphan turned WWII spy
turned fashion icon in Paris (Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling
author of The Diamond Eye).
Alix St. Pierre. An unforgettable name for an unforgettable woman. She
grew up surrounded by Hollywood glamor, but, as an orphan, never truly
felt part of that world. In 1943, with WWII raging and men headed
overseas to fight, she lands a publicity job to recruit women into the
workforce. Her skills--persuasion, daring, quick-witted under
pressure--catch the attention of the U.S. government and she finds
herself with an even bigger assignment: sent to Switzerland as a spy.
Soon Alix is on the precipice of something big, very big. But how far
can she trust her German informant...?
After an Allied victory that didn't come nearly soon enough, Alix moves
to Paris, ready to immerse herself in a new position as director of
publicity for the yet-to-be-launched House of Dior. In the glamorous
halls of the French fashion house, she can nearly forget everything she
lost and the dangerous secret she carries. But when a figure from the
war reappears and threatens to destroy her future, Alix realizes that
only she can right the wrongs of the past ...and finally find justice.
