From the New York Times million-copy-selling author of THE FROZEN RIVER, a thrilling, heart-wrenching novel inspired by the extraordinary true story of wartime heroine Nancy Wake.
TV SERIES IN DEVELOPMENT STARRING ELIZABETH DEBICKI (THE CROWN) AS NANCY WAKE
-----
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 Hélène 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 Andrée. 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 Hélène is a gripping, moving story of incredible courage, unfaltering resolve, remarkable sacrifice - and enduring love.

'Readers will be transfixed by this story of a woman who should be a household name' Library Journal
