Publisher Description

Amsterdam, 1940. Anika van de Ende knows she is lucky to be alive.

She and her husband Ruud van de Ende were enjoying Sunday lunch with her parents on her father's country estate when the Nazi troops arrived. By the time they left, only Anika was alive, spared to spread the word among her Dutch neighbours about what would happen to anyone who challenged the authority of the German Reich.

Fuelled by hatred, Anika transforms herself into one of the most ruthless assassins within the Dutch Resistance organisation. But when she is betrayed and almost killed, she is suddenly forced to question the motives of everyone around her. Is there a collaborator within the group? And could it be Ludo, the man she has fallen in love with?
