Though her world is crashing and burning around her, Dora refuses to give in to Hitler’s tyranny. The Nazis may have broken her heart, but they’re going to not break her spirit.
Secretly working for the underground network in France, Dora risks her life on the most dangerous mission in the history of the local resistance. She goes undercover as the secretary of the Head of Gestapo; a soldier with a brutal reputation. A cold-blooded killer.
She is tasked with leaking the names of the SS to the British press. On a daily basis, she rubs shoulders with the enemy. She makes coffee for the people she despises. She types letters for the monsters who killed her circle of relatives. At any second, she could be found out…
Can she live to tell the tale, turning the tide of the war and saving thousands of lives? Or will those she loved the most on the planet, and millions of other innocent people, have died in vain?
Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network, and The Lilac Girls will be utterly swept away by this heart-wrenching and totally gripping novel about one of history’s most courageous women.What readers are saying about The Undercover Secretary:“
