Book Synopsis

Captivating. The Washington Post

Named a Best Book of Summer by Good Morning America BuzzFeed PopSugar BookRiot LifeSavvy CT Post

From a master of historical fiction (NPR), Karin Tanabe''s A Woman of Intelligence is an exhilarating tale of post-war New York City, and one remarkable woman's journey from the United Nations, to the cloistered drawing rooms of Manhattan society, to the secretive ranks of the FBI.
