Cologne, 1942. Sixteen-year-old Karin Blik breaks curfew on the night of the thousand-bomber raid and stumbles into a web that reaches back to Luxembourg and the father whose death was never truly explained. When a small act of courage draws the attention of the regime—especially the charming but calculating Herr Gossen—Karin is offered answers, but at a dangerous price. Armed with her grandmother’s garden journal and a quiet but stubborn resolve, she navigates the treacherous loyalties of the BDM, the Hitler Youth, the Gestapo, and Cologne’s street gangs, where truth is wielded like a weapon. As pressure mounts at school, rallies, and under the eyes of men who trade secrets for power, Karin must decide what she is willing to risk to uncover what happened in Luxembourg… and to survive what comes next.

Tim Byers writes WWII historical fiction from Carmel, Indiana, where he lives with his wife and best friend, Mary. His novels-The Order of the Red Lion and The Vianden Deception-grow out of his wanderings through Luxembourg, a country he insists is best explored on foot, bike, or train, and with plenty of pastry stops.
