A Room Full of Night

Perfect for fans of Robert Harris's ** *Munich* ** and ** *The Fatherland* **--Stag Maguire, a burnt-out journalist hardly able to prop himself up in the wake of tragedy, agrees to help a friend move. They find an urgent message--HELP ME--written on a piece of silk tacked behind a long-forgotten portrait. The message from an address in Berlin is urgent; though it had to have been written pre-World War II. Curious, Stag and his friend, begin to research the address and whomever might have written the message. They trace the address to an apartment, a sealed time capsule that has not been lived in since 1942. And from one phone call to that apartment, the men unleash a nefarious plot and brutal security forces long thought vanquished. Events begin to cascade without mercy, and Stag--a broken man from the Midwest--finds himself pitted against a vestige of the Third Reich with powerful forces ensuring the propagation of Heydrich's infamous SD--Nazi's intelligence agency--in today's world. Will ordinary-man Stag Maguire prevail in his lone stand against evil?
