The invisible woman / Erika Robuck.

Robuck, Erika, (author.).

Summary:

"In the depths of war, she would defy the odds to help liberate a nation...A gripping historical novel based on a remarkable true story of World War II heroine Virginia Hall, from the bestselling author of Hemingway's Girl. France, March 1944. Virginia Hall wasn't like the other young society women back home in Baltimore-she never wanted the debutante ball or silk gloves. Instead, she traded a safe life for adventure in Europe, and when her beloved second home is thrust into the dark days of war, she leaps in headfirst. Once she's recruited as an Allied spy, subverting the Nazis becomes her calling. But even the most cunning agent can be bested, and in wartime trusting the wrong person can prove fatal. Virginia is haunted every day by the betrayal that ravaged her first operation, and will do everything in her power to avenge the brave people she lost. While her future is anything but certain, this time more than ever Virginia knows that failure is not an option. Especially when she discovers what-and whom-she's truly protecting"-- Provided by publisher.
