Two spies who have lost everything. Or have they?
The year is 1952. It's been over a decade since Josie and Arlette were arrested for working with the Resistance and imprisoned at the Ravensbrück concentration camp.
Now working for the U.S. Army, Josie nurtures an ember of anger in her heart as she searches for the Nazi scientists who did unspeakable things to her mother.
Arlette, having exhausted all her finances in Paris to find her stolen son, is left with no choice but to take a charming stranger up on his offer to search his compound's orphanage in French Guiana.
Yet rumour has it the compound is filled with absconding Nazis.
Both women must work together to uncover the truth and save the ones they love from terrifying danger . . .
