Summary

In “Counter Deception,” D. M. Sorlie takes readers on a thrilling journey through World War Two’s misleading clues and espionage. Set during Christmas of 1942, the story delves into the depths of war as the Alboran Sea becomes a backdrop for intense action and suspense.
The book opens with Tommaso, an Italian doctor, who finds himself in a potentially explosive triage situation. With a nervous kid holding a Red Devil grenade in the hospital ward, Tommaso must navigate a high-stakes scenario to save Christmas.
Danny’s successful Christmas Eve party on the hospital ship, Elsie. As the whiskey runs low and the festivities wind down, the doctors and nurses gather outside the radio room. With a microphone set up to reach all corners of the ship, they come together to sing Christmas carols to the wounded men aboard. However, the night takes an unexpected turn when a junior nurse with a powerful, opera-trained voice steps up to the mic to sing one last song. It filled the atmosphere with the haunting melody of “Silent Night, Holy Night.”
Amidst the holiday cheer, the story takes a darker turn as Sue Lee finds herself trapped in a deadly situation at a strategic airbase in Cuba. Bleeding from a wound, she anxiously watches for her assailant’s next move.

Readers are taken on a rollercoaster ride of suspense, danger, and deception as the plot unfolds. D. M. Sorlie’s “Counter Deception” is a gripping tale that explores the complexities of war during Christmas and the resilience of its characters. With its blend of action, romance, and intrigue, this novel will captivate readers from start to finish.
