About this listen

An extraordinarily gripping audiobook from a bright new voice in YA fiction.

Amsterdam, 1943. Hanneke spends her days procuring and delivering sought-after black-market goods to paying customers, her nights hiding the true nature of her work from her concerned parents, and every waking moment mourning her boyfriend, who was killed on the front line when the Germans invaded.

She likes to think of her illegal work as a small act of rebellion. But one day Hanneke gets a very unusual request. One of her regular customers asks her to find a girl. A girl who has disappeared from the secret room in her house.

A Jewish girl...as she searches for clues Hanneke is drawn into a dangerous web of lies, secrets and mysteries. Can she find the runaway before the Nazis do?

As the previous reviewer stated there is an error in chapter 13 (about halfway through) that actually spoils the book's ending. It has now been reported. I was really enjoying the book until this point and will get hold of a paper copy to finish it.
