Beschreibung

Mary Roberts Rinehart's 'The Amazing Interlude' is a captivating spy thriller set during World War I, showcasing the author's signature blend of suspense and romance. The novel follows Sara Lee Kennedy, an American protagonist who travels to war-torn Europe to support the Red Cross and finds herself entangled in a dangerous web of espionage. Rinehart's writing style is characterized by its vivid descriptions, engaging plot twists, and evocative imagery, making the reader feel like a part of the wartime setting. The novel's exploration of loyalty, sacrifice, and courage in the face of adversity adds depth to its thrilling narrative. Mary Roberts Rinehart, known as the 'American Agatha Christie,' drew from her own experiences as a war correspondent during World War I to craft 'The Amazing Interlude.' Her journalistic background and keen eye for detail lend authenticity to the novel's portrayal of life on the frontlines, while her mastery of suspense keeps readers on the edge of their seats. I highly recommend 'The Amazing Interlude' to readers who enjoy a compelling blend of espionage, romance, and historical fiction.

Soon Ryder and her handsome, erudite new companion are venturing through lost tombs and ancient abbeys, following a trail left ages ago by the Knights Templar. 
     
     
      
    Ryder knows she's close to a game-changing secret, hidden for a thousand years beneath an English castle. But with ruthless killers waiting in the wings, Ryder must go medieval—to defend her life, her country, and the world as we know it.

    However, one wants to help her battle-scarred country and the other wants to leave hers for the West. They dream up a daring, dangerous plan to achieve both goals, which Andropov, the chief of the Soviet KGB, is told about. He dubs it Operation Youriko and it is set in motion, but does it have even the remotest chance of success? 
    Andropov’s Cuckoo is based on a ‘true story’ related to the author by one of the protagonists.
