Woman. Wife. Smuggler. Spy . . . A thrilling and heart-wrenching novel inspired by the astonishing real life story of Nancy Wake. 'Lawhon breathes new life into Nancy Wake's extraordinary story. Rich and thoroughly researched, an exciting, well-written account of wartime valour and the protagonist's qualities shine through' The Times. 'This is the next book I won't be able to stop talking about...so, so good!' 5 stars (Goodreads reviewer). 'Readers will be transfixed by this story of a woman who should be a household name' Library Journal. 'A gripping thriller based on the life of Nancy Wake... Will keep readers turning the pages' Publishers Weekly. In 1936, foreign correspondent, Nancy Wake, witnesses first-hand the terror of Hitler's rise in Europe. No sooner has Nancy met, fallen in love with and agreed to marry French industrialist Henri Fiocca, than the Germans invade France and force her to take on her first code name of many. The Gestapo call her the White Mouse for her remarkable ability to evade capture when smuggling Allied soldiers across borders. She becomes Hlne when she leaves France to train in espionage with an elite special forces group in London. Then, when she returns to France, she is the deadly Madame Andre. But the closer France gets to liberation, the more exposed Nancy - and the people she loves - will become. Inspired by true wartime events, Code Name Hlne is a gripping and moving story of extraordinary courage, unfaltering resolve, remarkable sacrifice - and enduring love.
