The Swiss Courier
A Heart-Pounding WWII Thriller: Espionage, Courage, and Faith
It is August 1944, and the Gestapo is mercilessly rounding up suspected enemies of the Third Reich. The Swiss Courier — Book 1 of the Gabi Mueller Series — is a fast-paced, suspenseful novel full of treacherous twists and turns during a fascinating — and deadly — time in history.
When Joseph Engel, a German physicist working on the atomic bomb, discovers he is actually a Jew adopted by Christian parents, he must flee for his life to neutral Switzerland. Gabi Mueller — a young Swiss American woman working for the newly formed American Office of Strategic Services — is asked to risk her life to safely "courier" Engel out of Germany. If she can lead him to safety, she can keep the Germans from developing nuclear capabilities. But in a time of traitors and uncertainty, whom can she trust?
Filled with adventure and history, The Swiss Courier is great for a summer beach read or book club. If you enjoy it, check out book two of the series — Chasing Mona Lisa.
