Anna Hansen, a bride-to-be, is a pupil at one of Hitler's notorious Nazi Bride Schools, where young women are schooled on the art of being an SS officer's wife. Then, one night, she is brutally murdered and left in the gardens of the school. Her death will be hushed up and her life forgotten.
Clara Vine is an actress at Berlin's famous Ufa studios by day and an undercover British Intelligence agent by night. She knew Anna and is disturbed by news of her death. She cannot understand why someone would want to cover it up, but she soon discovers that Anna's murder is linked to a far more ominous secret.
With the newly abdicated Edward VIII and his wife Wallis set to arrive in Berlin, and the Mitford sisters dazzling on the social scene, Clara must work in the darkness to find the truth and send it back to London. It is a dangerous path she treads, and it will take everything she has to survive…

Recenzii
‘This
is
the
fourth
of
the
addictive
‘Clara
Vine’
novels,
set
in
Berlin
on
the
eve
of
war. Clara
is
a
half-German
British
agent
with
access
to
the
inner
circle
of
Nazi
wives. Portraits
of
women
such
as
Magda
Goebbels
and
Eva
Braun
are
ruthlessly
truthful,
but
drawn
with
compassion. It
is
early
1939,
and
Clara
is
drawn
into
investigating
the
murder
of
a
girl
at
the
League
of
Faith
and
Beauty
finishing
school.

'Pre-war Germany's atmosphere of reprehension, terror and Nazi hubris is vividly evoked in a gripping but sad tale'
'A tale of suspense and intrigue...Thynne's grasp of the period is first-class, and she has woven in a tender wartime love story'
'Darkly brooding horror hangs over Germany; an irresistible page-turner packed with historical detail and told from a most unusual perspective'
