'An incredible story of courage, devotion and daring, filled with vivid prose and rich detail. A must-read' CHANEL CLEETON 'Natasha Lester uncovers stories of women from history and drapes them in velvet' The Australian Women's Weekly From Australian bestseller Natasha Lester, an epic, sweeping novel of one young woman who risks everything to lead the largest spy network in occupied France - and change the course of World War Two. Morocco, 1928. Eighteen-year-old Parisienne Marie-Madeleine is not the kind of woman who goes through life sitting down, something her new husband can attest. Her unconventionalities - rally car driving, flying planes and dabbling in intelligence work for the government - earn her a reputation, but she knows who she is at heart: an adventurer. Paris, 1936. As Europe teeters on the brink of war, a chance encounter with a man codenamed Navarre turns Marie-Madeleine's life upside down. Recruited to help build a resistance network known only as Alliance, she conceals her identity - and her gender - as she navigates a perilous double life away from her children and the man she loves. Bestselling Australian novelist Natasha Lester passionately brings to life the incredible true story of one of history's unsung heroes: Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, the only woman to lead a resistance network in WWII France. 'Lester writes with razor-sharp research and admiration for a woman whose name deserves to be blazed across the pages of history' KATE QUINN 'Gripping . . . The fearless Marie-Madeleine Fourcade's story is one that deserves to be read' West Australian 'Written with heart, passion, and impeccable historical research, a powerful story readers will not be able to put down' MADELINE MARTIN 'Lester brings this unique story to life in vivid colour' Daily Telegraph 'Deeply researched and gorgeously written' KERRI MAHER

When the system fails, there’s one final option. #1 New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr launches a blistering new thriller series co-written with New York Times bestseller M.P. Woodward. Former Navy SEAL and CIA operative Chris Walker has lost faith in everything he once served. On the brink of ending his life, a call pulls him back: the widow of a fallen teammate needs help. Her son is dead – another victim of the opioid crisis – and she wants justice. What Walker uncovers is far bigger than one tragedy. Drawn into a deep-rooted conspiracy, he’s forced to confront the very institutions he once swore to defend. With driven FBI agent Jarrett Stanton closing in, Walker goes off-grid. Traveling with his fiercely loyal Belgian Malinois and a hidden cache of weapons, he becomes judge, jury, and executioner – exposing corruption and delivering a brutal, long-forgotten brand of justice. In the spirit of classic ‘stranger comes to town’ Westerns, this is a modern vigilante story –lean, relentless, and explosive. A new kind of hero is here. Justice is coming.
