Suspense thriller set in wartime D.C.
Revisado: 04-25-25
Intriguing novel based on a master female spy who had a huge impact on the Second World War. Heroine Lizzy Thorne, working out of Georgetown D.C., battles pro-Nazi agents for control over top-secret military codes that will determine the outcome of the war. Famed future authors, such as Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming, who were spies in Washington at the time, play major roles. As do the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover and a young John F. Kennedy. Lots of local color and atmosphere set in Embassy Row. Sharply drawn characters, interesting plot, bedroom dramas, spy vs. spy tradecraft, and excellent period atmosphere.

A genteel Border South town not far from the nation’s capital is shaken by a series of vicious slayings at historic sites. These include a Civil War cemetery for escaped slaves; a burial mound of Confederate soldiers; a church associated with George Washington; and a museum on the Antebellum Era. At the same time, violent break-ins take place at venerable banks and townhomes connected with the lives of Washington, Robert E. Lee, and civil rights figures. The small city is already in the thrall of a frightening pandemic, disputes over the removal of historic statues, and nation-wide turmoil on alleged police misconduct.
Meantime, violent or offbeat characters enter the life of the town: an escaped jihadi terrorist; a neo-Nazi bomber; Woke demonstrators; a power-hungry FBI official; and a beguiling teacher obsessed with the afterlife. Fears multiply about killers on the loose. Law enforcement is baffled, until a relentless local historian and his intrepid, alluring lady friend start to uncover the horrifying truth behind the shocking crimes. They have grave encounters with a menagerie of villains who threaten to ignite a second Civil War. Leading to a showdown at a gruesome site symbolic of the town’s troubled history, and tumultuous present.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 13
For almost two decades, through the War of 1812, James Wilkinson was the senior general in the United States Army. Amazingly, he was also Agent 13 in the Spanish secret service at a time when Spain's empire dominated North America. Wilkinson's audacious career as a double agent is all the more remarkable because it was an open secret, circulated regularly in newspapers and pamphlets. His saga illuminates just how fragile and vulnerable the young republic was.
