From the New York Times bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series comes a standalone novel about a mother and daughter who discover an underground Nazi cell in Los Angeles during the early days of World War II and find the courage to go undercover. In June 1940, as France falls to the Nazis and Britain is next, many Americans still view the war as distant. Veronica Grace, a recent college graduate, and her mother, Violet, a widow of a Navy commander, seek a fresh start in sunny Los Angeles. After a misstep derails Veronica's career in New York, she takes a temporary typing job, only to find herself working for a notorious anti-Semitic propagandist. This exposes her to the dark realities of her new home, where German Nazis are recruiting Americans and constructing a bunker for Hitler's anticipated visit. When the FBI dismisses their concerns, Veronica and Violet turn to an old friend of Violet's late husband, who connects them with Ari Lewis, L.A.'s anti-Nazi spymaster. The two women, both blonde-haired and blue-eyed, go undercover to infiltrate the local Nazi movement. As they gather crucial information, the attack on Pearl Harbor and President Roosevelt's declaration of war reveal that the plots they uncover are more dangerous than they imagined, with every misstep posing a grave risk. Inspired by real events, this story explores themes of family, duty, and courage in the face of terror.
