Description
When Helen left New York on a train bound for California in 1936, she was looking for a change of scene, planning to stay with her sister in Glendale and babysit her niece and nephew. But when she arrived, she found herself steeped in a world of bookies, mobsters, and a Nazi underworld that she must infiltrate on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League.
Anita Mishook’s
well-researched and brilliantly written debut novel transports you to 1936 and
the under-told history of the American Bund, the pro-Nazi Silver Shirts, and
their efforts to build a summer retreat for Hitler near the Los Angeles coast.
