“The Lioness of Leiden is more than just historical fiction; it is filled with suspense, intrigue, and even steamy romance. The Nazi-occupied Netherlands is swarming with killers, collaborators, and Dutch resisters in Robert Loewen’s action-packed page-turner. Brave men and braver women risk their lives in a struggle for freedom and survival. I couldn’t put it down.”

—Rick Reiff, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

“Robert Loewen’s The Lioness of Leiden is a fast-paced and often harrowing story of a group of young people risking all in the Dutch resistance. More than simply a gripping tale, it will serve as a stark reminder of the meaning of genuine courage—and that there are timeless principles worth dying for. What might be most amazing is that it is based on stories the author heard from his own mother-in-law—the inspiration for the book’s central character.”

—Harry Stein, originator of Ethics, the much-loved column in Esquire; author of The Girl Watchers Club; and co-author of Eichmann in My Hands

“‘Hetty Steenhuis had never smuggled hand grenades before.’ Inspired by actual events and real people, Robert Loewen hooks readers from the first page and delivers a plot filled with so many twists and turns, it’s a nail-biter. This engaging story shows women’s strength, bravery, hardships, sorrows, and extraordinary friendships. A must read!”

—Lydie Denier, French American actor, producer, and director
