"A taut and compelling example of World War II fiction and a fine historical thriller."-ALAN FURST, New York Times Bestselling Author of Night Soldiers
On the eve of D-Day, the fate of the world hangs not on the beaches of Normandy, but deep within a secret Nazi facility in occupied France.
Here, in a claustrophobic, slave-driven mine codenamed Noball 109, German scientists are racing to perfect a terror weapon that would render the Allied invasion obsolete: radioactive warheads on V-2 rockets aimed at the heart of London.
Enter Miriam Maduro, a ghost haunted by her past. A brilliant and courageous Dutch-Jewish Special Operations Executive agent, she has already been captured, tortured, and escaped the Nazis once. Now, the British pull her from the shadows for an offer she can't refuse: undertake a suicide mission to infiltrate and destroy the rocket facility, and they will guarantee safe passage for her young son and sister to England. For Miriam, it's not about patriotism; it's a mission fueled by a mother's fierce love and a survivor's desperate need for redemption.
Running parallel is a story of love and betrayal. Captain Jake Rogers, the American merchant marine who previously rescued Miriam and is the father of her child, is recruited by a charming Ian Fleming for a seemingly simple naval diversion. But treachery turns the mission into a disaster. Rogers is captured by the Germans.
The two storylines collide in one heart-stopping moment. Deep undercover, Miriam unfolds a German newspaper and sees Jake's face staring back at her from the front page. She is now faced with an impossible choice: complete her world-saving mission and let the man she loves perish, or risk everything-the war, D-Day, the lives of millions- orchestrate a daring rescue?

Scarlet Jameson is a taekwondo champion with a badly injured leg, a short fuse, and absolutely no intention of becoming an amateur detective. Then her friend Michelle is attacked by three masked strangers. Before her failing sight ended Michelle's career as a pediatrician, Emily had been her first patient. Years later, she became her last. When a desperately needed transplant fell through, Emily died—leaving behind a tragedy Michelle thought she'd buried. Apparently, someone else is determined to keep the past buried too. Scarlet, Michelle, and their loyal but unpredictable friend Bean start asking questions. They should have left the past alone. Because the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the answers become—and someone is willing to make sure they never reach the truth. Fast, dark, and full of wry, quick-witted banter, Scarlet Shadows is a modern Las Vegas crime mystery about buried secrets, the people who'll kill to keep them, and three friends who don't know when to walk away. Perfect for fans of Veronica Mars and Finlay Donovan. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
