Description

Grace Feldman's life is a complex web of secrets and codes. A would-be Shakespeare scholar with no mathematical background, she learns to decipher encrypted messages on the fly and becomes one of the country's most potent secret weapons during World War I, Prohibition, and World War II.

From her relationships with intimidating men to her own personal struggles as a working mother, Grace navigates impossible odds and forms unlikely alliances. She deciphers the German Enigma machine, foils a plot by Hitler to invade the United States via South America, and creates a cryptologic system for the fledgling CIA.

But with great power comes great danger. As Grace's remarkable journey unfolds, she unwittingly makes an enemy of J. Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI, putting her family and career at risk if he discovers the secret she desperately tries to keep hidden.
