Alice's Network

THE HISTORICAL NOVEL OF THE YEAR

In 1915 a network of courageous spies left a legacy of glory and sacrifice. But also of betrayal. Thirty years later, the time for truth has come.

1947. Young American Charlie St. Clair is pregnant, unmarried and about to be expelled from her very respectable family. As her world falls apart, her only hope is the faint possibility that her beloved cousin Rose, who disappeared in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, is still alive.

1915. A year after the outbreak of the Great War, Eve Gardiner is eager to join the fight against the Germans, so she doesn't hesitate for a moment when she is recruited as a spy for the clandestine organization known as "the Alice Network."

Three decades later, obsessed by the betrayal that destroyed the network, Eve spends her days among bottles of alcohol locked in her dilapidated London home. Until a young American appears at her door uttering a name Eve hasn't heard in decades and embarking on a mission: to find out the truth no matter where it leads.

Heroism, love and suspense in a gripping novel inspired by the real historical episode of the network of women spies who saved more than a thousand soldiers from death.
