Based on a true story, a gripping historical novel about a German
immigrant who becomes embroiled in a Nazi spy ring operating in New
York City in the early days of World War II. At the end of the
1930s, Europe is engulfed in war. Though America is far from the
fighting, the streets of New York have become a battlefield.
Anti-Semitic and racist groups spread hate, while German
nationalists celebrate Hitler's strength and power. Josef Klein, a
German immigrant, remains immune to the troubles roiling his
adopted city. The multicultural neighborhood of Harlem is his
world, a lively place full of sidewalk tables where families enjoy
their dinner and friends indulge in games of chess. Josef's great
passion is the radio. His skill and technical abilities attract the
attention of influential men who offer him a job as a shortwave
operator. But when Josef begins to understand what they're doing,
it's too late; he's already a little cog in the big wheel--part of
a Nazi espionage network working in Manhattan. Discovered by
American authorities, Josef is detained at Ellis Island, and
eventually deported to Germany. Back in his homeland, fate leads
him to his brother Carl's family, soap merchants in Neuss--where he
witnesses the seductive power of the Nazis and the war's terrible
consequences--and finally to South America, where Josef hopes to
start over again as Jose. Eventually, Josef realizes that no matter
how far he runs or how hard he tries, there is one indelible truth
he cannot escape: How long can you hide from your own past, before
it catches up with you? Copyright 2020 by Klett-Cotta-J.G.

Bristol - 1945 The war has ended; the men are returning home to
their loved ones, but for some things have changed. Charlotte
Hennessey-White's husband, David is no longer the gentle loving man
he once was and Charlotte, so independent during the war, is
devastated. Edna Burbage's strong fiancee, Colin has suffered
appalling physical injuries. He won't hold her to her promise of
marriage, but she insists her feelings are unchanged. But is that
true? Is she marrying him out of love or pity? And Polly Chandler's
sweetheart, Gavin who'd she'd planned her whole future around,
hasn't come home at all. War and suffering have changed their men
leaving the women to cope on their own. But they too are changed.
They harbour secrets best kept that could do untold damage to these
already fragile lives. Praise for Lizzie Lane: 'A gripping saga and
a storyline that will keep you hooked' Rosie Goodwin 'The Tobacco
Girls is another heartwarming tale of love and friendship and a
must-read for all saga fans.' Jean Fullerton 'Lizzie Lane opens the
