Munich. Munich, 1942 As war rages across Europe, a series of
anonymous leaflets, criticizing the brutal Nazi regime, appear on
the streets of Germany. Their message, written in secret, is a
daring act of defiance. Natalya Petrovich, a student, knows more
than she should. As a member of the secret resistance group, the

amazing. I couldn't put it down... it's a great story about

people overcame it and fought against it' Danielle, NetGalley 'An
outstanding novel' Peter, Goodreads 'Kept me reading until wee
