Description
From Kindle Scout winner Max Eastern comes a taut story of espionage set in the final weeks of WWII, perfect for fans of ‘The Bletchley Circle,’ ‘Operation Mincemeat,’ ‘Band of Brothers,’ and ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.’
Haunted by the memory of a secret love affair in Nazi-occupied Prague, American intelligence officer Julius Orlinsky is caught in a deadly web of espionage when a routine assignment in Washington, D.C., disintegrates into murder, attempted murder, and blackmail.
Determined to uncover the truth, Orlinsky's quest takes him from the halls of the Pentagon to a prisoner-of-war camp in Maryland, and, finally, to the city of Budapest under siege. It's a shadow world where a lifetime of loyalty can be undone by one secret revealed. Orlinsky soon learns the personal stakes couldn't be higher. His investigation threatens to expose a betrayal by the woman he believed was the love of his life.
But Orlinsky has no choice. Charged with an assignment critical to ensuring America’s safety, he must confront the ghosts of his past as he navigates a terrain of double agents, war-hardened German and Russian soldiers, and fanatics who will stop at nothing to silence him.

Advance Praise
"Red Snow in Winter is a gripping, ingenious cat-and-mouse political thriller set in early 1945 just before the end of World War II. A young U.S. Army Intelligence officer finds himself caught up in a deadly espionage battle involving Americans, Nazis, and Russians that he can only survive by finding out who to trust--and also by finally uncovering the truth about long-buried secrets from his own shadowy intelligence past. Smart writing, a high stakes plot, and fascinating historical background. Author Max Eastern really delivers the goods in this must-read page-turner of a novel."
— R.G. Belsky, author of the Clare Carlson mystery series
Praise for 'The Gods Who Walk Among Us,' winner of Kindle Scout:
"I found a great new-to-me author in Max Eastern. I love how he brought his characters to life and made the situations in this novel seem as though they were happening in front of me."
— Terrie Farley Moran, national bestselling co-author of the Jessica Fletcher 'Murder She Wrote' mystery series.
"This debut is superbly executed, and I could not get enough of the down-on-his-luck, failing lawyer turned paparazzi. A fun ride."
— Robert K. Lewis, author of Critical Damage, finalist for the Shamus Award
"This is a smart, sharp read that would appeal to Elmore Leonard fans and people who actually peruse a newspaper from time to time."
— Mariah Fredericks, author of The Girl in the Green Dress
