\n France, 1942. \u201cWith tremendous effort, I forced myself to hold his gaze. My heart was thrashing inside my chest like a bird battering its wings. The room was suddenly devoid of air. Time itself stood still. They knew who I was. They knew what I\u2019d done.\u201d This heartbreaking World War Two page-turner tells the incredible true story of Dora Schaul, one of history\u2019s most courageous women.<\/p>\n

It was a misty Wednesday morning. Inside the Gestapo headquarters, you could cut the tension with a knife. There was a traitor in their midst: someone had leaked a list of the SS to the British press.<\/p>\n

The head of the Gestapo called me into his office. Panelled oak walls, a grand piano in the corner, rugs lining the floor\u2014the place where he ordered executions every day.<\/p>\n

I sat at the desk, reaching for the typewriter and adjusting the paper. On the wall, the clock ticked loudly.<\/p>\n

He stood over me; I could almost feel his breath on my neck. \u201cI don\u2019t know where the leak came from. Do you?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t stop my hands from trembling. I was sure he could hear the thrashing of my heart.<\/p>\n

Because I wasn\u2019t just a secretary: I was an undercover Jewish girl. The person who fetched them tea, typed their letters, and made them laugh was their enemy. And my day of reckoning had arrived\u2026<\/p>\n

Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network, and The Lilac Girls will be utterly swept away by this emotional page-turner about the brave woman who risked her life every day by coming face-to-face with enemy\u2014the monsters who killed her loved ones.<\/p>\n
