Summary:
The
girl known as Gretchen Whitestone has a secret: She used to be part of
Adolf Hitler’s inner circle. More than a year after she made an enemy of
her old family friend and fled Munich, she lives with a kindly English
family, posing as an ordinary German immigrant, and is preparing to
graduate from high school. Her love, Daniel Cohen, is a reporter in
town. For the first time in her life, Gretchen is content.
But then, Daniel gets a telegram that sends him back to Germany, and Gretchen’s world turns upside-down. And when she receives word that Daniel is wanted for murder, she has to face the danger she thought she’d escaped-and return to her homeland.
Gretchen must do everything she can to avoid capture and recognition, even though saving Daniel will mean consorting with her former friends, the Nazi elite. And as they work to clear Daniel’s name, Gretchen and Daniel discover a deadly conspiracy stretching from the slums of Berlin to the Reichstag itself. Can they dig up the explosive truth and get out in time-or will Hitler discover them first?

I haven't read the first book, but I hear it's fantastic! I hope you get to read this one soon:-)
LOVED Prisoner of Night and Fog, so can't wait for it either. Haven't seen the UK cover for it yet, but waaaay preferred the US cover of PoNaF, so probably will end up preferring this cover too. ;)
