A Time for Defiance
by James D. ShipmanIn this gripping, high-stakes novel of World War II, the bestselling author of Before the Storm draws on real events to tell the story of one woman&’s daring role in the Dutch resistance as part of a most unusual taskforce.May 1940: In the months since the war in Europe began, nineteen-year-old Aafke Cruyssen and her family have tried to carry on as normal—running their modest grocery store in Eindhoven, hoping that Germany will leave Holland alone as it did during the Great War. But this time, Holland will not be spared. The invasion comes, swift and merciless, and Dutch forces are easily overpowered. In Eindhoven, a valuable transport and trade hub, Nazi soldiers swagger through the streets. Aafke&’s one glimpse of humanity comes from a young German corporal who intervenes when a gang of looters tries to rob her family&’s shop. Aafke joins the Dutch resistance and is drawn into a relationship with its charismatic leader. Wanting more than the menial missions assigned to women, she and her friends create a taskforce of their own—a &“dating club&” where women target Nazis, luring them to their arrest or death. Discovery by the Gestapo will mean torture and execution. Just as dangerous is the reappearance of the soldier who once helped her family. Otto Berg is now an influential Nazi commando, intrigued by Aafke&’s fragile courage. As the conflict deepens, so does Aafke&’s quandary. The tides of war continue to bring her and Otto into each other&’s circles. And beyond the battles that make history are countless sacrifices and unthinkable choices she must make for the sake of the resistance, and to save her own life and those she loves.

Suddenly, Frankie’s up against menacing G-men and threats of prison if he doesn’t talk.

A Time for Vengeance
by Geoffrey OsborneFate catches up to former Nazis in a Cold War thriller that “weaves a wonderful tapestry of twists and deceits” (Tom Kasey, author of Cold Kill). Erich Mueller knows it isn’t a coincidence that his old colleague Gerhard Kohner should show up, after all these years, just as the Israelis find him. The two were once loyal Nazis and former SS men and their hunters are intelligence operatives, sent to South America to capture them. Staring at a photo of the pair—taken in secret—the director of Britain’s Special Security (Operations) Section immediately recognizes them. Kohner and Mueller once tortured him but he managed to escape. However, many others—mainly Jewish men and women—weren’t so lucky. To add to present matters, a new conspiracy orchestrated by East Germany threatens to destabilize the world—a plan with Kohner at the helm. He needs Mueller, who is apparently key to the plot: There’s important information locked up in that old Nazi’s head. The Special Security team must capture Mueller alive before it’s too late, and the cunning director already has a plan in mind . . . Meanwhile, the clock is ticking as with every passing hour, Kohner is torturing Mueller within an inch of his life to give up what he knows. And with Mueller, his one weakness—his wife—might be what finally pushes him over the edge.
