Summary:
Virginia Hall was behind enemy lines, playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Hitler's henchmen. When the State Department proved to be a sexist boys' club that wouldn't let her in, she gave the finger to society's expectations of women and became a spy for the British. This boss lady helped arm and train the French Resistance and organized sabotage missions. There was just one problem: The Butcher of Lyon, a notorious Gestapo commander, was after her.
