Prisoner of Night and Fog

A gripping historical thriller set in 1930s Munich, Prisoner of Night and Fog is the evocative story of an ordinary girl faced with an extraordinary choice in Hitler's Germany. Fans of Code Name Verity will love this novel full of romance, danger, and intrigue!

Gretchen Müller grew up in the National Socialist Party under the wing of her uncle Dolf--who has kept her family cherished and protected from that side of society ever since her father sacrificed his life for Dolf's years ago. Dolf is none other than Adolf Hitler. And Gretchen follows his every command.

When she meets a fearless and handsome young Jewish reporter named Daniel Cohen, who claims that her father was actually murdered by an unknown comrade, Gretchen doesn't know what to believe. She soon discovers that beyond her sheltered view lies a world full of shadowy secrets and disturbing violence.

As Gretchen's investigations lead her to question the motives and loyalties of her dearest friends and her closest family, she must determine her own allegiances--even if her choices could get her and Daniel killed.

• Deep Family Secrets: Gretchen has always believed her father was a hero who died for the Nazi cause. But Daniel claims he was murdered by one of his own comrades, unraveling a deadly conspiracy at the heart of the Party.
• Enemies to Lovers: Raised to hate everything Daniel stands for, Gretchen must overcome years of indoctrination to trust the one person who can help her, even as their connection deepens into something more.
• Atmospheric 1930s Munich: Step into the shadowy streets of a city on the brink of darkness, where whispers in beer halls can be deadly and the rising power of the Nazi Party touches every life.
