World War II has begun, yet those in American social circles pay it no mind. Certainly not Julie Harris a Washington socialite. She and her husband Stewart are living the high life. Until Julie awakens one morning to discover she’s widowed and another woman was with her husband when he was killed.
Distraught, Julie determines to find the truth about Stewart’s secret life. Because of her discoveries, Julie accepts an assignment as a spy in London. Suddenly she’s swept up in a life of danger and intrigue. Who do you trust? Who is real and who is not? Suave and debonair Anthony Hamilton, privy to all the right places? The vicar John Peters who delivers notes to prisoners? Bombs fall as Hitler’s invasion begins. Julie’s life is in peril. Why should she, an American, stay? The truth. Does truth exist? Where is God at a time like this?
Paul McCusker has taken historical events and woven a tale of mystery and intrigue. Until the very last pages, the reader will point a finger at character after character and be swept along with Julie in her search. A real page-turner.
