Author of The Double Life of Eve Sinclair
Nationally bestselling author and master of historical fiction C.C. Humphreys discusses The Double Life of Eve Sinclair, a novel about a female spy who must push herself to her very limits to save herself and everything she holds dear.
It’s 1939, and Stockholm is a sea of spies. Yet Eve Sinclair couldn’t care less. Nineteen years old, beautiful, born in Montreal into privilege and educated to do little more than make a good marriage, she appears to have succeeded when she weds a handsome diplomat and follows him to Stockholm. Raised to expect one life, she instead finds herself thrust into the dark, corrupt and perilous life of a spy.
More than a war story, The Double Life of Eve Sinclair is a tale of love, passion, grit and the resilience of the human spirit. And it’s the story of one woman who discovers she has more strength than she ever could have imagined.
A Different Drummer Books will be on site with books for sale and signing after the talk.
