"An absolutely riveting book!" bestselling author Cynthia Brian. Stunning new historical account of Hitler's closest male advisor and a brave Hollander woman whose daring faith compels her to hide Jews in a secret room. With years of research into the diaries of the protagonists coupled with his partnership to the Ten Boom Museum in the Netherlands, Charles Causey's new moral thriller exposes chilling secrets of the Nazi's during the final weeks of the war and chronicles one Christian woman's journey to a death camp for resisting the Gestapo in Holland. Suspenseful like fiction, yet all characters exists in history, their words are their own, and their actions are detailed from national archives. This fast-paced narrative stands alone in a genre between biography and historical fiction.
