Robert Branch, a careless academic, makes the mistake of lighting up when the F hrer is about to begin a procession, and nearly gets pummeled for his mistake. Only the timely intervention of Ruth Esch, a flame-haired actress, saves him. So begins a month-long romance between East and West--a torrid affair that ends when the lovers make the mistake of defending a Jew, earning Branch a beating and Esch a trip to a concentration camp. Six years later, Esch escapes to Vichy and makes her way to Detroit. To her surprise, Branch is waiting for her. He is a professor, working for the war effort, and his paranoia about a spy inside the Motor City war board sours their reunion. Once again, a dangerous net is encircling these lovers--a reminder that, in this war, love always comes second to death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mysteriouspress.Com\/Open Road\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781453295564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.58d","brand":"Ross MacDonald","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36651552931996,"sku":"9781453295564","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_edc3ac89-5c03-43fc-9138-c404208cefe4.jpg?v=1603877859","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-dark-tunnel-9781453295564","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
