Sinossi

British sleuth Patrick Dawlish gets caught in a twisted web of deceit spun by a criminal mastermind—from the Edgar Award–winning author.   When Patrick Dawlish is too quiet, Scotland Yard gets suspicious. The police are used to him treading about on their turf—with or without their approval. This time, they come to Dawlish for help, asking him to defile his inner sanctum: the Carilon gentleman’s club.   Five perfectly respectable young women have gone missing—and all signs point to fellow club member Sebastian Kane, a bombastic explorer and big-game hunter. Only Kane isn’t the only suspect. His acquaintance is a woman with a bad reputation, and the five disappeared ladies  have all worked as her secretary. As Dawlish inserts himself into their lives, he uncovers accusations of robbery, gold smuggling, and drug trafficking. And the closer Dawlish gets to the truth, the closer he gets to becoming the next trophy on their wall . . .

Max's War - The Story of a...

Libby Fischer Hellmann

A sweeping World War 2 saga in which a young German Jew flees Europe, emigrates to America, and joins the Army to fight Nazis
As the Nazis conquer Europe, Jewish teen Max and his parents flee German persecution to Holland, where Max finds true friends and a life-altering romance. But when Hitler invades in 1940, Max escapes to Chicago, leaving his parents and friends behind. When he learns of his parents' murder, Max immediately enlists in the US Army. After basic training he is sent to Camp Ritchie, Maryland, where he is trained in interrogation and counterintelligence.
Deployed to the OSS, Max carries out dangerous missions in Occupied countries. He also interrogates German POWs, especially after D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, where, despite life-threatening conditions, he elicits critical information about German troop movements.
Post-war, he works for the Americans in the German denazification program, bringing him back to his Bavarian childhood home of Regensburg. Though the city avoided large-scale destruction, the Jewish community was decimated. Max roams familiar yet strange streets, replaying memories of lives lost to unspeakable tragedy. While there, however, he reunites with someone from his past, who, like him, sought refuge abroad. Can they rebuild their lives… together?
This epic, suspenseful coming of age and war story is Libby Hellmann’s tribute to her late father-in-law who was active with the OSS and interrogated dozens of German POWs.
Sure to captivate readers of Kate Quinn and Kristin Hannah, Max’s War delves into events that occur during periods of extreme conflict when hate seems to be winning.
