Verdette Le Grand returns in this post-WWII espionage thriller, navigating the shadowy crossroads of Europe and Indochina — where shifting loyalties, covert operations, and a dangerous love affair could topple her career… or save her country.

SYNOPSIS:

Revised per industry coverage, The Vulture’s Nest continues the story of Verdette Le Grand from Lipstick on the Guillotine. In 1951, as France clings to its fading empire, Verdette — now one of the seven heads of French Counterintelligence — is drawn into a high-stakes game stretching from the wet streets of West Germany to the jungles of Indochina. Betrayals, covert operations, and a love affair with a decorated officer threaten not only her career but the fragile balance of power in a world on the brink of change.
