In 1945, Dr. Hannah Weiss, an Austrian-Jewish physicist, is removed from her essential work with the Critical Assemblies Team at the Los Alamos National Laboratories and is taken for interrogation. Major Jack Delaney, a rising star in the shadowy world of military intelligence, is convinced that someone in the top-secret Manhattan Project is a spy; the captivating, brilliant and mysterious female scientist soon becomes his primary suspect. Is Hannah a Nazi spy, or is she protecting a far more personal and dark secret of her own?

A vivid, page-turning, and inspiring re-imagination of the final months of World War II, and the brilliant researchers behind the first atomic bomb, Hannah’s Waris an unforgettable love story about an exceptional woman and the dangerous power of her greatest discovery.
