Diane Wagner

Behind the Iron Curtain, the Truth Can Kill You. 
Europe, 1956. The Iron Curtain divides the Free West from the Soviet Bloc, and the battle for hearts and minds is waged with words, not bullets. Charlie Atkins, a 23-year-old California farm girl, works at Radio Free Europe in Munich, relaying Western news to millions trapped behind Soviet borders. She longs to report real stories—like her own, marked by the mysterious disappearance of her father, Captain A.J. Atkins, in the last days of World War II. 
Her boss dismisses her: too young, too green, too female. But when the Hungarian people rise against Soviet rule, Charlie sees her chance. Defying orders, she heads straight into the heart of Budapest—unaware that Soviet tanks and troops are already massing to crush the revolution. 
As the city erupts in chaos and the streets run red, Charlie must outwit soldiers, dodge bombs, and chase the truth before she’s silenced forever. Along the way, she uncovers secrets that could change her life—and reveal her father’s fate. 
Gripping, atmospheric, and inspired by true events, Byline Budapest is a riveting Cold War thriller of courage, ambition, and the price of chasing the story of a lifetime.
