Book description
When a disgraced singer is snared in the undercurrents of WWII espionage, she must learn to become a shadow in the limelight.
Still struggling with personal loss and haunted by the memories of her near-death experience at the hands of the Nazis, dazzling singer Hattie James desires to leave her past behind and focus on reviving her career and rising in the ranks of the glamorous Brazilian music scene.
But when she discovers that her mother’s new suitor, Swiss diplomat Frederick Ziegler, is associated with SS leader Heinz Baumann, Hattie’s suspicions ignite. Then, while performing for an exclusive gathering at Ziegler’s residence, she overhears a chilling plan to assassinate a high government official and sabotage the Brazilian-American alliance by sinking a Rio-bound passenger ship—possibly the same one that Hattie’s own sister is traveling on.
