Description
They called her the Limping Lady. To the Gestapo in occupied Lyon, her prosthetic leg was a flaw, a weakness to be exploited. They didn't know it was her greatest weapon.
Virginia Hall, an American spy hiding in plain sight, must turn the world's contempt into her camouflage. Hunted by a ruthlessly methodical SS officer who is determined to dissect the myth she is building, Virginia is forced to forge a fragile army from the city's shadows—an unholy alliance of bitter rivals who see a crippled woman, not a commander. To save them, and a nation, she must become a ghost in the machine of the Resistance, a strategist who trades in terror, and a god of bread who fights with miracles.
Spanning from the treacherous back alleys of Lyon to the frozen, unforgiving peaks of the Pyrenees, this is a story of a woman who was rejected for her weakness and instead made it her strength, proving that in a world of shadows, the most dangerous weapon is the one you underestimate.
