The Three Lives of Alix St Pierre

The Three Lives of
Alix St Pierre

Alix St Pierre. An unforgettable name for an unforgettable woman.

1943. After spearheading several successful advertising campaigns in New York, PR wizard Alix St Pierre comes to the attention of the US government and finds herself recruited into a fledgling intelligence organisation. Enlisted as a spy, Alix is sent to Europe where she is tasked with getting close to a Nazi who might be willing to help the Allied forces - but there's also the chance he might be a double agent.

1946. Following the war, Alix moves to Paris to run the Service de la Presse for the yet-to-be-launched House of Christian Dior. But when a figure from the war reappears and threatens to destroy her future, Alix realises that only she can right the wrongs of the past and bring him to justice.

'The Three Lives of Alix St Pierre braids espionage, fashion, and a broken-but-unbowed heroine together into one fascinating tale. American ex-spy Alix returns to Paris in 1947, determined to build a new life for herself ... but among the bolts of silk and Ritz cocktails, an old enemy lies in wait. Alix must reach back into her wartime past to trap her enemy, hoping it is not too late to build a new future out from under his shadow. Natasha Lester weaves a triple-stranded delight!’

KATE QUINN, New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye


“Luxuriant and opulent, just like Dior's glorious gowns. A sweeping story of love, betrayal and the search for redemption, and one woman's struggle to remain true to herself and find her place in the world. An engrossing and beautiful read.”

TANIA BLANCHARD, best-selling author of The Girl from Munich
