Mystery Historical

In preparation for the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the Nazis have rid the streets of anti-Semitic material and other propaganda, and present a peace-seeking face to the world. Journalist and part-time spy for the British, Hannah Vogel, shudders to think of what lies under the temporary coat of gloss.

Posing as travel reporter Adelheid Zinsli and lover of SS officer Lars Lang, Hannah has been collecting Nazi secrets from Lang and smuggling them back to Switzerland. Wanted by the SS, her travel in and out of Germany has always been fraught with danger, but this trip is especially treacherous.

Surrounded by former colleagues who could identify her, Hannah tries to keep a low profile while reporting on the Games as Adelheid. Her relationship with Lang gets more complicated as he sinks into alcoholism; the whispers she hears about his work in the SS give her chills. Whose side is he on?

Hannah agrees to meet her mentor, Peter Weill, at the Stadium, but before he can reveal information that will expose the Nazis, he dies in front of her. Hannah suspects poison.

Hannah must discover who killed Weill and get his secret package out of the country before the Olympics end and the Nazis tighten their noose…and before her true identity is revealed. And her partner may be the very one about to expose her…

Re: Game Of Lies

Hi, Rebecca. Yesterday I finished A Night of Long Knives after reading A Trace of Smoke just the day before. I can't say that I honestly "enjoyed" the books (too much tension) but I found them fascinating and engrossing. There were names of streets and U-Bahn stations that I recognized, Wannsee which I visited with some of my cousins who live in Zehlendorf--but certainly not in the post part. My arrival by plane on my first visit in 1962/08 was at Tempelhof. In fact my aunt, who has lived in Berlin all her life, picked me up there and we went to her place by U-bahn. We got out at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedaechtniskirche and went to street level to almost total silence, with hardly a car moving. We were both baffled until my aunt said. "It's Aug. 13. It must be for commemorating the Wall." It had gone up a year before.

I can't remember if I've contacted you before, when I first read about "Smoke". Had all pregnant women not been ordered out of Berlin at the time, I'd have been born in Berlin, instead of in a little town about 25 miles from there.

At any rate, I'm really looking forward to A Game of Lies.
