"A thrilling read this, the dual narrative with its vivid contrasts makes for a terrifying chiaroscuro. Bravo!" -Kerry Greenwood, author of the Corinna Chapman seriesIn late-1930s Europe, not everyone is attentive enough to see what the future holds-certain war. In Prague, however, prescient Jaroslav Blaschka is desperate to transport his family's wealth beyond the reach of the Nazis. In New York, Lynn Fontanne and Alfred Lunt are still confident enough to travel on their annual trek to Paris. As these three lives come closer and closer together, they are all pulled into Hitler's maelstrom, encountering a multitude of terrors and horrors.Once their paths cross, the Lunts attempt to carry out Jaroslav's wishes, while he disappears into the turbulence and looming death of World War II Europe. Moving from Czechoslovakia, Germany, France, England, New York City, and, ultimately, to Ten Chimneys, the Lunts' Wisconsin home, Lynn and Alfred must face the final showdown with Hitler's henchmen, struggling to survive while hoping against hope Jaroslav will do the same.
