The deadly embrace
a novel of World War II
by Robert J. Mrazek
- 1 Want to read
A razor-sharp thriller, rich with crackling dialogue and pulse-pounding suspense, that ingeniously interweaves fiction and history. Robert J. Mrazek is a natural-born storyteller, whose previous novels have been described as "gripping," "magically rendered," and "compelling" by the national press—words of praise that would equally apply to The Deadly Embrace.
From bombravaged London to elegant English country estates, Lieutenant Elizabeth "Liza" Marantz and her partner, Major Sam Taggart, a troubled former New York City homicide detective, investigate the suspicious deaths of two female colleagues who were involved in sexual relationships with powerful Allied commanders. Occurring on the eve of D-Day, Liza's investigations uncover more than one conspiracy, and the very success of the war may rest in her hands.
