from the New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls
American
Josie Anderson and Parisian Arlette LaRue are thrilled to be working in
the French resistance, stealing so many Nazi secrets that they become
known as the Golden Doves, renowned across France and hunted by the
Gestapo. Their courage will cost them everything. When they are finally
arrested and taken to the Ravensbrück concentration camp, along with
their loved ones, a reclusive Nazi doctor does unspeakable things to
Josie’s mother, a celebrated Jewish singer who joined her daughter in
Paris when the world seemed bright. And Arlette’s son is stolen from
her, never to be seen again.
A decade later the Doves fall
headlong into a dangerous dual mission: Josie is working for U.S. Army
intelligence and accepts an assignment to hunt down the infamous doctor,
while a mysterious man tells Arlette he may have found her son. The
Golden Doves embark on a quest across Europe and ultimately to French
Guiana, discovering a web of terrible secrets, and must put themselves
in grave danger to finally secure justice and protect the ones they
love.

stunning combination of empathy and research into the stories of women

The Golden Doves, she has crafted an unforgettable story about the fates
of Nazi fugitives in the wake of World War II—and the unsung females
spies who risked it all to bring them to justice.
