Code Name Hélène

She became one of the most wanted women in Nazi-occupied Europe. This is her story. From the bestselling author of The Frozen River comes a gripping novel based on the extraordinary true story of Nancy Wake—the Australian journalist who became one of the greatest heroes of the French Resistance. Paris, 1936. Fearless, ambitious, and impossible to ignore, Nancy Wake has bluffed her way into a reporting career and fallen in love with wealthy French industrialist Henri Fiocca. But when the Nazis invade France, Nancy refuses to stand by and watch. Instead, she joins the Resistance. Under a series of aliases, Nancy smuggles refugees across borders, outwits the Gestapo, and helps lead dangerous missions behind enemy lines. Her uncanny ability to evade capture earns her a legendary nickname: The White Mouse. With a massive bounty on her head and enemies closing in from every side, Nancy must risk everything—including the people she loves—to fight for freedom. A breathtaking story of courage, espionage, sacrifice, and enduring love, The White Mouse brings to life one of World War II's most remarkable women.
