WWI, 1915: Eve Gardner is a young, female spy stationed in France to gather intel against Germany. The friendship of a lifetime blossoms with Lili, the head of the Alice Spy Network and for the first time in her life, Eve knows what she was made to do.
Post-WWII, 1947: Charlie St. Clair has disappointed her conventional parents by getting pregnant out of wedlock. As she heads to Europe to “take care” of it, she has a different plan. She’s going to find her beloved cousin Rose who went missing during the war.
It’s in London where Charlie’s only clue opens the door to Eve’s past. Despite being old, cranky, and a drunk, Eve begrudgingly agrees to step into the unknown on a wild goose chase together.
The Alice Network keeps you gripped from start to finish. If you like historical fiction and strong female leads, this one is for you!
