changed forever when she is tasked with driving General Eisenhower
on his fact-finding visit to wartime London. Despite Eisenhower's
marriage to Mamie, the pair takes an immediate liking to one
another and he gifts Kay a rare wartime luxury: a box of
chocolates. So begins a tumultuous relationship that against all
military regulation sees Kay travelling with Eisenhower on missions
to far flung places before the final assault on Nazi Germany. She

to take desperate measures to hold onto the man she loves...

city holding its breath. Mussolini's forces have retreated - for
now - but German sights are fixed firmly on the region. And as the
situation in Germany worsens, Zannis becomes involved in an

of Europe. The British hear he can penetrate the continent's closed

December 1803: A French invasion fleet is poised to cross the
Channel and storm the beaches of southern England. A member of
Napoleon's inner circle-disaffected by Napoleon's creeping
tyranny-contacts the British naval intelligence service in hopes of
defecting to London. His escape plan calls for a rendezvous at an
international chess tournament in Frankfurt-a rare opportunity for
him to travel outside France. Naval intelligence sends its top
man-and best chess player-Captain Thomas Grey, to orchestrate the
Frenchman's escape to England. But Grey's mission changes
dramatically when the defector demands that his pro-Napoleon
daughter come with him-expecting Grey to act not just as escort but
kidnapper. The second novel in J. H. Gelernter's already lauded
Captain Grey series, Captain Grey's Gambit continues a story that
is "smart, fast, twisty, and dangerous" (Lee Child) in a "richly
imagined early nineteenth-century world" (Richard Snow).
An acclaimed Chinese writer makes his English language debut with
this heart-stopping literary noir, a richly atmospheric tale of
espionage and international intrigue, set in Shanghai in 1931--an
electrifying, decadent world of love, violence, and betrayal filled
with femme fatales, criminals, revolutionaries, and spies. A boat
from Hong Kong arrives in Shanghai harbor, carrying an important
official in the Nationalist Party and his striking wife, Leng. Amid
the raucous sound of firecrackers, gunshots ring out; an assassin
has shot the official and then himself. Leng disappears in the
ensuing chaos. Hseuh, a Franco-Chinese photographer aboard the same
boat, became captivated by Leng's beauty and unconcealed misery.
Now, she is missing. But Hsueh is plagued by a mystery closer to
home: he suspects his White Russian lover, Therese, is unfaithful.
Why else would she disappear so often on their recent vacation?
When he's arrested for mysterious reasons in the French Concession
and forced to become a police collaborator, he realizes that in the
seamy, devious world of Shanghai, no one is who they appear to be.
Coerced into spying for the authorities, Hseuh discovers that
Therese is secretly an arms dealer, supplying Shanghai's gangs with
weapons. His investigation of Therese eventually leads him back to
Leng, a loyal revolutionary with ties to a menacing new gang, led
by a charismatic Communist whose acts of violence and terrorism
threaten the entire country. His aptitude for espionage draws Hseuh
into a dark underworld of mobsters, smugglers, anarchists, and
assassins. Torn between Therese and Leng, he vows to protect them
both. As the web of intrigue tightens around him, Hsueh plays a
dangerous game, hoping to stay alive.
