The Consummate Traitor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781940145570)

Historical Fiction: World War II spy story. One woman betrayed, the other sacrificed in a chain reaction of double crosses that alters the outcome of World War II. Loyalty betrayed... love lost... secrets buried... inhumanity at its worst. Is forgiveness possible in the turmoil of such tragedy? On the eve of World War II, American journalist Lee Talbot witnesses Hitler's experiment in "total war," the carpet bombing of Guernica in northern Spain. It's a preview of the horrors Nazi Germany will unleash if Hitler's nuclear labs develop the atomic bomb first. Lee joins Churchill's secret operation to sabotage Hitler's project, but ends up babysitting the king of England's cousin, Lady Grace Talbot, a gifted pianist who fancies herself in love with an SS officer. When Lady Grace's parents die in a London bombing, she joins Lee's team as a 'pianist, ' transmitting coded messages to British covert missions in Nazi-held territory. Soon, both women learn that, in the secret world of spies, they can trust no one. In a tale rich with historical detail, what happens to these two women exposes a secret England wants buried forever.
