The Secret War: A World War Two Novel

In a world of secrets, her greatest performance may be off-stage.

In a factory hidden deep in the Brazilian jungle, the Germans are developing a long-range bomber capable of reaching the United States--a weapon that could tip the scales of World War II in their favor. With the clock ticking down to a sneak attack on American soil, singer-spy Hattie James's mission becomes clear: she must gather intelligence and stop the Nazis before it's too late.

When a failed assassination attempt in Rio on the American Vice President puts her loved ones in jeopardy, Hattie realizes both developments are connected and that the price of failure is more than she can bear. With betrayal hiding around every corner, Hattie must confront the brutal reality of war as even those she once trusted--her fellow spies and closest allies--might have their own deadly agendas.

As alliances shift and enemies close in, she faces a desperate battle in the heart of the jungle--a fight to destroy the Nazi threat and save the lives of those she loves. The stakes are higher than ever, and Hattie must use all her wit, charm, and courage to survive.

Miller masterfully blurs the line between friend and foe in a world where trust is a weapon, and betrayal can be fatal. A gripping historical fiction novel, perfect for fans of Lisa Barr and Rhys Bowen.
