Two former female spies, bound by their past, risk everything to hunt down an infamous Nazi doctor in the aftermath of World War II-an extraordinary, propulsive historical novel inspired by true events from the New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls

American Josie Anderson and Parisian Arlette LaRue are thrilled to be working in the French resistance, stealing so many Nazi secrets that they become known as the Golden Doves, renowned in France and hunted by the Gestapo. When they’re arrested and taken to Ravensbruck concentration camp, a reclusive Nazi doctor does unspeakable things to Josie’s mother, also a prisoner there. And Arlette’s son is stolen.

A decade later the Doves fall headlong into a dangerous dual mission: Josie is working for U.S. Army intelligence and accepts an assignment to hunt down the infamous doctor, while a mysterious man tells Arlette he may have found her son.

The Golden Doves embark on a quest across Europe and ultimately to French Guiana, discovering a web of terrible secrets, and must put themselves in grave danger to finally seek justice and protect the ones they love.

Martha Hall Kelly has garnered acclaim for her stunning combination of empathy and research into terrors of Ravensbruck. With The Golden Doves, she has once again crafted an unforgettable story about the fates of Nazi doctors in the wake of WWII, and the unsung females spies who risked it all to bring them to justice.
