The first book in the Louise Pearlie Mysteries is “Sarah Shaber’s best novel yet” (Margaret Maron).
It’s 1942. Louise Pearlie, a young widow, has come to Washington, DC to work for the legendary Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the CIA. When she discovers a document concerning the husband of her college friend Rachel Bloch—a young French Jewish woman she is desperately worried about—Louise realizes she may be able to help Rachel escape from Vichy France. But then a colleague whose help Louise has enlisted is murdered, and she realizes she is on her own, unable to trust anyone . . .
“A satisfying puzzle as well as a vivid picture of Washington during WWII.” —Publishers Weekly
“An auspicious debut.” —Library Journal
