After the tragic death of his beloved wife, Martha, Leo
Hoffman felt he was doing the best thing for their daughter
Maddy by sending her to New York where he thought she would
be safe and loved. Little did Leo know that Amelia, the
woman he quickly married in order for Maddy to be allowed
in the United States, would abandon the little girl in a
convent school while she carried on her scandalous
lifestyle. He was a little busy trying to stay alive as
World War II began to rage around him.
In M.L. Malcolm's new book, HEART OF DECEPTION, she
continues the fascinating story of Leo Hoffman and the
depths and extremes he will go to in order to keep his family
safe. This sequel to Heart of Lies is a little slower
paced than the first book, giving the reader a chance to
experience more fully the heartache and fear that Leo
experiences, as well as the bravery as he struggles to
return to the one person he loves unconditionally -- his
daughter Maddy.
From M. L. Malcolm, the acclaimed author of Heart of
Lies, comes a powerful sequel that spans the years from
World War II to the turbulent 1960s—the riveting story of a
family struggling with choices forced upon them by
war . . . and the consequences that will take a generation
to unfold.
Aman of many contradictions, Leo Hoffman is a Hungarian
national with a French passport, a wealthy businessman with
no visible means of support, and a devoted father who
hasn't seen his daughter in years. He is also a spy.
Recruited by the Allies to help lay the groundwork for
their invasion of North Africa, Leo intends to engage in as
little espionage as possible—just enough to earn his
American citizenship so he can get to New York and reunite
with his daughter, Maddy. But while Leo dodges death in
France and Morocco, Maddy is learning shocking truths about
her father's mysterious past—haunting knowledge that will
compel her down her own dangerous path of deception and
discovery.
