About this audiobook
In occupied Paris, 1942, young seamstress Lucille "Luce" Renard leads a double life: by day, she mends dresses; by night, she smuggles Resistance microfilm hidden in seams and buttons. When operatives begin disappearing, Luce discovers a traitor is leaking information to the Gestapo.
To uncover the mole, she creates an aristocratic alter ego, Madeleine du Beauvais, infiltrating gilded salons where collaborationist elites gather. As she navigates deception, fractured loyalties, and impossible moral choices, Luce must question whether every betrayal can be forgiven—and if survival demands sacrifices she’s not willing to make.
This atmospheric, character-driven WWII spy thriller blends intimate craft with high-stakes espionage, weaving a richly textured story of survival, identity, and the quiet courage of those who stayed unseen in the shadows. Every stitch hides a secret…and one wrong stitch means death.
