Then, one day, she finds an old identity document bearing his picture ��� but someone else���s name. From a box of papers her father leaves for her when he dies, Ariana meticulously uncovers the extraordinary truth of his escape from Nazi-occupied Prague. She follows him across Europe and reveals his astonishing choice to assume a fake identity and live out the war undercover, spying for the Allies in Berlin ��� deep in the ���darkest shadow���.
