When a disgraced singer is snared in the undercurrents of WWII espionage, she must learn to become a shadow in the limelight. Still struggling with personal loss and haunted by the memories of her near-death experience at the hands of the Nazis, dazzling singer Hattie James desires to leave her past behind and focus on reviving her career and rising in the ranks of the glamorous Brazilian music scene. But when she discovers that her mother’s new suitor, Swiss diplomat Frederick Ziegler, is associated with SS leader Heinz Baumann, Hattie’s suspicions ignite. Then, while performing for an exclusive gathering at Ziegler’s residence, she overhears a chilling plan to assassinate a high government official and sabotage the Brazilian-American alliance by sinking a Rio-bound passenger ship—possibly the same one that Hattie’s own sister is traveling on. With this, Hattie is catapulted back into the delicate dance of espionage. But her fragile safety net suddenly evaporates when her agency contact goes dark. Forced to take matters into her own hands, Hattie uses her cover as a singer in a risky bid to gather crucial intelligence. Alone in the field and with her family in danger, Hattie must cultivate unconventional contacts and trust uneasy alliances in order to protect her loved ones…and save hundreds of innocent lives. A captivating WWII novel, perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Kristin Hannah.

SAPPHIC SUSPENSE YOU CRAVE A late bloomer, Stacy Lynn Miller took up writing after retiring from the Air Force. Her twenty years of toting a gun and police badge, tinkering with computers, and sleuthing for clues as an investigator form the foundation beneath her Lexi Mills and Manhattan Sloane thriller series. Visually impaired, she is a proud stroke survivor, mother of two, tech nerd, chocolate lover, and terrible golfer with a hole-in-one. When you can’t find her writing, she’ll be golfing or drinking wine (sometimes both) with friends and family in Northern California.
