    1947. I en verden præget af efterveerne fra Anden Verdenskrig står den amerikanske collegepige Charlie St. Clair og er gravid, ugift og på nippet til at blive smidt ud af sin meget anstændige familie.Charlie klamrer sig samtidigt til det desperate håb, at hendes elskede kusine Rose, som forsvandt under krigen i det nazi-besatte Frankrig, stadig er i live, så da Charlies mor slæber hende med til Europa for at få ordnet hendes lille problem, stikker hun af til London, fast besluttet på at finde ud af, hvad der skete med den kusine, hun elsker som en søster. 1915. Den Store Krig er et år gammel, og Eve Gardiner brænder efter at bidrage i kampen mod tyskerne. Det får hun uventet chancen for, da hun rekrutteres som spion og sendes ind bag fjendens linjer i det besatte Frankrig, hvor hun oplæres af spionernes dronning, den fascinerende Lili med kodenavnet Alice, som styrer et omfattende netværk af hemmelige agenter lige for næsen af fjenden. 30 år senere bor Eve i et forfaldent hus i London, ensom og fordrukken, hjemsøgt af det bedrag, der endte med at flå Alice-netværket i stumper og stykker. Lige indtil en ung, amerikansk pige braser ind i hendes hus og taler om en person, hvis navn Eve ikke har hørt i årtier. Det sender dem begge ud på en færd for at finde sandheden – uanset hvor den fører hen. "Denne pageturner rummer både modige heltinder, skurke man elsker at hade og spørgsmål om liv og død. Quinns mange facetterende historie og levende karakterer vil tiltale alle læsere."- Library Journal "En blændende fortalt,indsigtfuld roman." - 5 hjerter- Femina

    Baseret på en sand historie, om heltemod, der er vokset ud af desperation, om en mor, der blev soldat, og om en kvinde, der fandt sin plads i verden og ændrede historiens gang for altid. Ljudmila Pavlitjenko, en nørdet og pligtopfyldende historiestuderende fra Kyiv, er ikke i tvivl. Hun vil kæmpe – kæmpe for sit lands, sit livs og sin søns fremtid. Da Hitler invaderer Sovjetunionen, tager Milas liv en helt ny drejning. Hun tager kampen op og forvandles fra flittig studine til livsfarlig snigskytte. 309 drab senere og nationalhelt, bliver hun hjemkaldt fra fronten for at blive sendt på charmetur til Amerika som det gode eksempel. Krigen har sat sine spor, og hun føler sig isoleret og ensom, indtil et uventet venskab med USA’s førstedamen Eleanor Roosevelt og et endnu mere uventet venskab med en tavs ligemand tænder lidt lys i et mørkt liv. Men da en gammel fjende dukker frem fra fortiden, er det ikke kun egne dæmoner, Mila tvinges til at tage kampen op imod.
