'A crime story rich in wartime intrigue. A compelling read.' Barry Lees, author of The Last Known Sighting
October 1942.
Deadly espionage attacks are escalating across US Army Air Force bases stationed around London, threatening to derail the upcoming goodwill visit of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
Brigadier General Maximilian Landry, commander of the base in Heathbridge, is on his way to attend the birthday party of his mentor, General Bedford ‘Ford’ Masterson, when his car misses hazardous boulders strewn in his path - one in a series of sabotage incidents.
A female OSS agent, Corporal Anne Beasley, is sent to investigate the disruption. She soon finds herself embroiled in a labyrinth of deceit, where nothing is as it seems.
While Anne serves as Landry’s temporary adjutant during a severe staffing shortage, Max grows suspicious of her and asks Major Brett Calloway, who he has served with for over ten years, to spy on her.
As the attacks increase, suspicions mount surrounding who could be responsible as confidential information is leaked. With no one to turn to and no one who will believe her, the agent fights desperately to defend herself and uncover the culprit.
A conspiracy unfolds, which could not only endanger the life of the First Lady, but threaten the success of the war effort itself.
Alison Chambers lives Greendale, Wisconsin. The Magician’s Daughter is her seventh novel and is the first in a series of World War II historical fiction adventures.
