Description
As World War II rages across Europe and the
Pacific, its impact ripples through communities in the heartland of America. A farm
girl is locked in a dangerous love triangle with two Germans soldiers held in
an Illinois POW camp ... Another German, a war refugee, is forced to risk her
life spying on the developing Manhattan Project in Chicago ... And espionage
surrounds the disappearance of an actress from the thriving Jewish community of
Chicago’s Lawndale. In this trio of tales, acclaimed thriller author Libby
Fischer Hellmann beautifully depicts the tumultuous effect of war on the
home front and illustrates how the action, terror, and tragedy of World War II
was not confined to the front lines.
