1929: Jazz, parties and an endlessly rising stockmarket, but an insignificant politician called Adolf Hitler plans blackmail and even murder to snare Miss Lily, her espionage network and the British royal family. Hannelore, Princess of Arneburg and one of Miss Lily's ex-students in the art of "lovely ladies" has convinced the Prince of Wales to send Sophie, Nigel and Miss Lily to "check out this Hitler chap", the man Hannelore believes can save Europe from another war. But despite a visit to a castle beforehand, this venture risks scandal for Sophie and Nigel, as well the destruction of the spy networks Nigel, Lily and spy master James Lorrimer have built up. Meanwhile, the man Sophie loved in Australia has returned, as has Violette, brought up by the female resistance members of La Dame Blanche and intent on killing the woman she believes betrayed them. Amid the decadence and desperation of Berlin in the 1920s, a band of women must unite to save all that is precious to them.
