Wolf by Wolf: A BBC Radio 2 Book Club Choice

What would the world look like if the Nazis had won the war? Wolf by Wolf is a gripping thriller about one girl’s extraordinary mission to kill Hitler.

“Wild and gorgeous, vivid and consuming. I loved it! I can’t wait for the sequel.” Laini Taylor, bestselling author of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy

The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule. To commemorate their Great Victory, they host an annual motorbike race across their combined continents. The prize? An audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor’s ball.

Yael has witnessed too much suffering, and the five wolves tattooed on her arm are a constant reminder of the loved ones she lost when she was a prisoner in a brutal concentration camp. Now part of the resistance, Yael has one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. But the only way to enter the race is to impersonate last year’s only female racer, Adele Wolfe. Yael is a master of deception but there are two other competitors it may be impossible to fool – Adele’s brother, Felix, and Luka, a boy she clearly has history with.

But as Yael grows closer to the other competitors, can she be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and stay true to her mission? The future on the world is depending on her . . .

A fast-paced, clever story that will leave you breathless.
