E.R. Ramzipoor

a novel

Brussels, 1943. When street orphan Helene befriends a rogue journalist, Marc Aubrion, he draws her into a secret network publishing dissident underground newspapers. But a high-ranking Nazi officer captures Aubrion and his comrades, telling them they must use the newspaper to paint the Allies as monsters or be killed. Aubrion has a brilliant idea: to pretend do the Nazis' bidding, but instead publish a fake edition of Le Soir that pokes fun at Hitler and Stalin--giving power back to the Belgians by daring to laugh in the face of their oppressors
