"Berlin, 1933. Clara Vine is determined to be an actress. A chance meeting at a party in London leads her to Berlin, to the famous Ufa studios and, unwittingly, into an uneasy circle of Nazi wives, among them Magda Goebbels. Then Clara meets Leo Quinn who, in his undercover role for British intelligence, sees in her the perfect recruit to spy on her new acquaintances, using her acting skills to win their confidence. But when Magda reveals to Clara a dramatic secret and entrusts her with an extraordinary mission, Clara feels threatened, compromised and utterly torn between duty and love." --Publisher description.
