Synopsis
It is 1944 and the Rome Escape Line, operated by a clandestine group known as The Choir, is smuggling more than 6,000 escapees from Nazi occupied Rome every year. Despite its successes, The Choir itself is riven with internal tensions and infighting. The organization risks falling apart, leaving thousands of escaped allies, Jews, and objectors stranded in a Rome that is ruled with vicious efficiency by the Nazis. Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty, the architect of the Escape Line and acknowledged leader of The Choir, broods inside the Vatican, seemingly paralyzed by what he sees as the intolerable risks of keeping the Escape Line in operation.
One man has been given the task of definitively destroying the Escape Line. The price of failure for SS Commander Paul Hauptmann will be paid for by his wife and children, who have been escorted back to Germany under the care of the Gestapo. Hauptmann must dismantle the Escape Line or watch his family perish. Meanwhile, as he threatens to destroy Rome, he is also seduced by the city’s dark, wily mysteries.
Into this deliriously thrilling melee steps the Contessa Giovanna Landini, a reckless, audacious, and magnetic member of the Italian Resistance. When an unidentified airman literally falls from the sky, the Contessa Giovanna Landini and every member of the Escape Line are plunged into lethal danger.
A beautifully written and expertly crafted literary novel that is bursting with action, atmosphere, and unforgettable characters, The Ghosts of Rome is the second book in Joseph O’Connor’s best-selling Rome Escape Line trilogy.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS' CHOICE "Mesmerising, tragic, horrifying, utterly unputdownable. An outstanding read for fans of WWII fiction and of writers like Anthony Doerr."--Emily Melton, Booklist (Starred Review)In the final months of World War II, a clandestine group known as The Choir successfully smuggles thousands of escapees out of Nazi-occupied Rome via a secret route known as the Escape Line. When an unidentified airman falls wounded from the sky, The Choir is plunged into danger and the survival of the Escape Line itself is threatened.The Escape Line's collapse would leave thousands stranded. Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty, its architect and the acknowledged leader of The Choir, broods inside the Vatican, paralyzed by the perils of keeping his Roman underground railroad functioning. Meanwhile, SS Commander Paul Hauptmann has been tasked with destroying the entire operation, and the price of failure is high--his wife and children are under Gestapo lock-and-key in Berlin. Into this deliriously thrilling melee steps Contessa Giovanna Landini, a reckless, audacious, and magnetic member of the Italian Resistance who has the nerve to challenge Hauptmann's authority.Beautifully written and expertly crafted, The Ghosts of Rome is a historical suspense novel bursting with action, atmosphere, and unforgettable characters by one of contemporary fiction's most acclaimed and beloved writers."The power of The Ghosts of Rome comes from the dazzling variety of voices employed, the sense of a world constructed in multiple dimensions. What emerges is not just a wartime thriller, though it is that, but a meditation on how we remember, how we resist and how, even in the darkest times, humanity endures."--Alex Preston, The New York Times Book Review Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
