[Lillian Saxton 01] • Ulterior Objectives

What if the only way you could discover who killed your brother was to lie to your commanding officer?

May 1940. Western Europe is on edge, wondering when the Nazis will strike. America is neutral, woefully unprepared for war, and President Roosevelt tries to steer the dicey waters of international diplomacy and keep the United States out of the conflict. It is in this environment when Sergeant Lillian Saxton, US Army, receives a cryptic message from an old flame who now lives in Germany: meet in Belgium and he'll not only give her the key to the Nazi codebooks but also information about the man who murdered her brother.

Lillian conducts all her missions with panache and confidence, even when bullets start to fly and enemy agents zero in to kill her. She’s more uncertain of how she’ll react when she sees the man who broke her heart or how she’ll get out of Belgium when the Nazis launch their invasion.

Acclaim For Scott Dennis Parker

Wading Into War is “...an excellent period private-eye yarn with a great pace. Scott nails the setting and the time period as well. Highly Recommended.”

—James Reasoner, author of TEXAS WIND

“The writing is crisp, the action flows well. The setting has the right amount of flavor to recreate the time period. With well-drawn characters, it's a good escapist read. And with a title like that [All Chickens Must Die], you just have to get it.”

—Dale T. Phillips, author of A MEMORY OF GRIEF
