By: Livia Huntingdon-Jones

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In the heart of occupied France, the Gestapo is hunting a ghost. They only know one thing about their most dangerous enemy: her limp.

Sent to Lyon, a city built for conspiracy, an American spy with a wooden leg codenamed "Cuthbert" begins a one-woman war against the Third Reich. Under the guise of a naïve journalist, Virginia Hall orchestrates sabotage and builds escape lines, her every move shadowed by the threat of discovery. Her limp is her signature, the one flaw in her performance that could betray her to the ever-watchful Gestapo.

When the enemy’s top spy hunter is brought in to eliminate the mysterious “Limping Lady,” Virginia must escalate her mission from espionage to open warfare. Tasked with forging a unified army from the feuding tribes of the Maquis, she must command bitter rivals in a series of audacious heists and devastating attacks. From the rooftops of Lyon to the treacherous peaks of the Pyrenees, Virginia wages a war of wits and wills against a relentless enemy who is determined to unmask her.

An epic and thrilling novel based on the true story of Virginia Hall, the spy who became a myth.
