Vera Atkins, the Jewish Spymistress

In the shadow of Nazi-occupied Europe, a woman who had erased her own identity was about to send thirty-nine others to their deaths.

Vera Atkins appeared to be the perfect British intelligence officer—cultured, unflappable, devastatingly efficient. But beneath her impeccable exterior lay a secret that could have cost her everything: she was Vera Maria Rosenberg, a Jewish refugee who had transformed herself so completely that even her closest colleagues never suspected the truth.

As Hitler's war machine crushed Europe under its boot, Vera became the architect of Churchill's most audacious gamble—a secret army of female agents who would infiltrate Nazi territory and set the continent ablaze. These weren't trained soldiers but ordinary women: a mystical princess, a shop girl, an American with a wooden leg. Under Vera's guidance, they became legends.

Noor Inayat Khan, the gentle Sufi who became an unbreakable radio operator. Andrée Borrel, who went from rescuing downed pilots to masterminding sabotage networks. Virginia Hall, so effective the Gestapo called her “the most dangerous of all Allied spies.”

But something was terribly wrong.

One by one, her agents began disappearing into the Nazi night. Radio transmissions cut off mid-sentence. Safe houses found empty. Trusted contacts vanishing without trace. As Vera's networks crumbled, she faced an agonizing realization: someone was betraying her girls.

When the war ended, 118 of her agents remained missing. The authorities were ready to write them off as acceptable losses. Vera was not.

Armed with nothing but determination and a guilt that consumed her, she embarked on a relentless hunt across the ruins of Germany. What she discovered would expose one of the war's darkest secrets—a Nazi directive designed to make captured agents disappear forever, as if they had never existed.

But could she find them all? And could she live with what she learned about their final moments?
