A witness to war crimes in search of refuge on a remote island. A Jewish survivor seeking revenge in the aftermath of the Holocaust. A custodian who must protect a powerful legacy from rogue interests. Two sisters who must each confront a devastating secret the other has been keeping. These pulse-racing, page-turning tales blend fact with fiction and history with mystery to craft forceful tales of tension and trauma.
