The Queen's Gambit meets The Alice Network in this epic,
action-packed novel of family, loss, and one woman's journey to save all
she holds dear--including freedom itself. --Kristin Harmel, New York
Times bestselling author of The Forest of Vanishing Stars
From the New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a
Monday--over a million copies sold--comes a sweeping World War II tale
of an illusionist whose recruitment by British intelligence sets her on
a perilous, heartrending path.
As a little girl raised amid the hardships of Michigan's Copper Country,
Fenna Vos learned to focus on her own survival. That ability sustains
her even now as the Second World War rages in faraway countries. Though
she performs onstage as the assistant to an unruly escape artist, behind
the curtain she's the mastermind of their act. Ultimately, controlling
her surroundings and eluding traps of every kind helps her keep a
lingering trauma at bay.
Yet for all her planning, Fenna doesn't foresee being called upon by
British military intelligence. Tasked with designing escape aids to
thwart the Germans, MI9 seeks those with specialized skills for a war
nearing its breaking point. Fenna reluctantly joins the unconventional
team as an inventor. But when a test of her loyalty draws her deep into
the fray, she discovers no mission is more treacherous than escaping
one's past.
Inspired by stunning true accounts, The Ways We Hide is a gripping
story of love and loss, the wars we fight--on the battlefields and
within ourselves--and the courage found in unexpected places.
