"An intelligent, sharply focused, high-stakes drama . . . a
transatlantic, cross-country cat-and-mouse chase [that] hastens
toward a conclusion that manages to excite but at the same time
examine, most notably, questions of trust, loyalty and
patriotism."--Malcolm Forbest, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune "An
absorbing tale of espionage wrapped in enough cloak-und--dagger
episodes to make anyone's Kopf spin. Intrigue and menace mixed here
with delicious dollops of humor make a great read for those
interested in that bygone era. Absolutely wunderbar!"--Edward B.
Cone, Library Journal (starred review) "An understated,
entertaining [and] exceptional period thriller focused on homegrown
opposition to Hitler. . . . Grant builds tension slowly, then
ratchets it up with fine pacing. The main characters are
well-drawn, but the minor ones are also memorable, from a White
Russian princess in an ancien régime Berlin salon to a cabaret
mentalist."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Intricate . . . a
clever story of suspense and treachery as growing resistance to
Hitler and the Nazis force desperate opponents to act. . . .
Pursuits, shoot-outs, surprising plot twists, and an exciting
showdown at an alpine mountain lodge complete this remarkably tense
and well-crafted thriller."--Publishers Weekly
