Mid-1940, the darkest of the nights for Britain during WWII. Adolf Hitler's unstoppable military has conquered most of Europe, including France, only twenty miles from the English coast. It is now set to conquer the island-nation itself. Plotting to aid this onslaught, a German spy lurks somewhere within Winston Churchill's government.
Such is the dire news an emissary of the prime minister secretly brings to disgraced Churchill bodyguard, Jonas Shaw, an ex-New York City detective, along with a plea: help discover the agent before the Nazis invade. Shaw has faced many challenges in his eventful life, but none as dangerous and fateful as this one, helping save Western civilization. First in a series.

Steve earned a B. A. Degree from the University of Texas in Austin,
majoring in political science and minoring in history. Afterwards
he passed his stock broker's exam and worked for a time at a
brokerage house before returning to school. Upon getting his legal
assistant certification from UCLA, he worked at a law firm in Los
Angeles. Successful stock market investments allowed him to retire
early and to pursue two dreams, writing and foreign travel, and he
has since traveled extensively and frequently to Europe. He speaks
some French, a little less Italian, and four words in German and
hopes to expand his fluency in all three languages.
He enjoys the cosmopolitan bustle, sidewalk cafes, the museums of
Berlin, Rome, Vienna, London, Budapest, and Paris. Many of these
capitals find their way into his stories of intrigue..."Murder
Without Pity" (Paris), "The Killing Ploy" (London, Berlin, Paris,
and Lugano) and the soon-to-be-released "Darkness and Blood"
(London and Paris) and "Winston Churchill's Renegade Spy" (London
and Zurich). He's also researching for a fifth novel, this one to
be set in 1946 Berlin.
