Wie weit gehst du, um deine beste Freundin zu retten? Ein berührend schöner Roman über eine schicksalhafte Freundschaft zweier junger Frauen im Zweiten Weltkrieg Oktober 1943: Ein britisches Flugzeug stürzt im von den Nazis besetzten Frankreich ab. Maddie, die Pilotin, und Geheimagentin »Verity«, die mitfliegt, sind beste Freundinnen. Während Maddie entkommen kann, wird Verity von der Gestapo entdeckt. Sie erlebt den schlimmsten Albtraum einer Spionin, die im feindlichen Gebiet gefasst wurde, denn ihre Verhörer stellen sie vor die Wahl: Entweder sie verrät freiwillig ihre Mission oder die Informationen werden grausam aus ihr herausgefoltert. Verity ist sicher, dass sie selbst nicht überleben wird. Doch wird sie ihre Geheimnisse preisgeben, um so vielleicht das Leben ihrer besten Freundin zu retten? »Dieses Buch hat mich zerstört. Man will die Charaktere ganz nah bei sich tragen, um sie zu beschützen, und weiß, dass man es nicht kann.« Leigh Bardugo, Bestsellerautorin
