 g portrait of a complicated woman who knows the astonishing power of her b
 eauty but longs to be recognized for her sharp intellect. Readers will be 
 enthralled." - (Publishers Weekly\, starred review).</strong></p>\n<p>Bene
 dict\, author of <em>Carnegie's Maid</em>\, reimagines the lesser-known as
 pects of renowned Hollywood actress Hedy Lamarr. In 1937\, fleeing her abu
 sive\, controlling husband\, military-arms dealer Friedrich Mandl\, and an
  increasingly powerful and ruthless Nazi regime\, the Jewish\, Austrian-bo
 rn Hedy escapes to London\, where she connects with and charms an impresse
 d Louis B. Mayer. In Hollywood\, she is billed as the most beautiful woman
  in the world\, but her flawless face masks an inquisitive scientific brai
 n. Unable to forget the military secrets she learned while married to Mand
 l and eager to assist the Allied cause\, Hedy teams with avant-garde compo
 ser George Anthiel\, ultimately inventing a radio-guided torpedo system. T
 hough never used during the war\, their ingenious invention was instrument
 al in the evolution of blue-tooth technology.</p>\n<p>Benedict's compellin
 g fictionalized biography pays tribute to the overlooked scientific contri
 butions and the hidden depths of a stunning beauty and beloved movie star 
 of superior intelligence and verve through an irresistible combination of 
 Hollywood glamour and international intrigue. -- Margaret Flanagan (Review
