Will the coming war divide them . . . ? For as long as she can
remember Peggy O'Shea has been expected to work at the family
dairy, look after her younger siblings, and eventually marry
cow-keeper Martin Gallagher. And that's the way it has predictably
gone, apart from one glorious summer when, at the age of eight, she
meets handsome Anthony Giardano. But there's bad blood between the
Irish O'Sheas and the Italian Giardanos, so perhaps for the sake of
both of their families, it's a good thing when Anthony suddenly
disappears. Ten years later at the start of the war, Peggy bumps
into Anthony again. But as they begin to rekindle their friendship,
Italy joins forces with Germany and Liverpool turns on its Italian
residents overnight, making any relationship between Peggy and
Anthony impossible . . . A gritty World War Two historical saga
from Elizabeth Morton the acclaimed author of Angel of Liverpool.

WHAT IF HITLER HAD SURVIVED? In the gripping new spy thriller from
the Sunday Times bestselling author of Hitler's Secret, a Cambridge
spy must find the truth behind Hitler's death. But exactly who is
the man in the bunker? 'MASTER OF THE WARTIME SPY THRILLER' -
FINANCIAL TIMES ________________ Germany, late summer 1945 - The
war is over but the country is in ruins. Millions of refugees and
holocaust survivors strive to rebuild their lives in displaced
persons camps. Millions of German soldiers and SS men are held
captive in primitive conditions in open-air detention centres.
Everywhere, civilians are desperate for food and shelter. No one
admits to having voted Nazi, yet many are unrepentant. Adolf Hitler
is said to have killed himself in his Berlin bunker. But no body
was found - and many people believe he is alive. Newspapers are
full of stories reporting sightings and theories. Even Stalin,
whose own troops captured the bunker, has told President Truman he
believes the former Fuhrer is not dead. Day by day, American and
British intelligence officers subject senior members of the Nazi
regime to gruelling interrogation in their quest for their truth.
Enter Tom Wilde - the Cambridge professor and spy sent in to find
out the truth... Dramatic, intelligent, and brilliantly compelling,
THE MAN IN THE BUNKER is Rory's best WWII thriller yet - perfect
for readers of Robert Harris, C J Sansom and Joseph Kanon.
