Perfect for you if...

You enjoy WWII thrillers with ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances and high personal stakes.
You like fast-paced plots that don't waste time on backstory and get straight into the action.
You appreciate historical fiction where the real events are woven into a gripping narrative rather than overshadowing it.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your WWII fiction to centre on soldiers or intelligence officers rather than civilians caught in the machinery of war.
You want complex moral ambiguity and nuance rather than clear heroes and villains.
You're looking for literary depth and character introspection over propulsive plot momentum.

About this book

Set in war-torn Lisbon, this novel follows an American bartender and a young Jewish nightclub singer who become entangled in a Nazi plot during World War II. As Nazi forces prepare to invade England, Hitler devises a plan to kidnap the Duke and Duchess of Windsor while they are in Portugal, intending to install them as puppet monarchs under his fascist regime. When the bartender and singer learn of the conspiracy, they work to stop it. As Hitler's operatives pursue them, their rescue mission—aided by unexpected allies—threatens to disrupt the Nazi advance across Europe.
