Do you like spy novels? If you do, I have a new one for you that takes place in 1938.
For years the Nazi's have been waging political warfare against France. They are trying to weaken their spirts by bribery, corruption and intimidation, hoping their efforts will bring down the will of the people to defend themselves.
Fredric Stahl is a Hollywood actor, going to Paris to film a movie for Paramount France. He is horrified by the war and what the Nazi's are doing to the Jews so he decided to join a secret spy service being run out of the American embassy in France. But the Nazi's don't know this and attack Stahl, thinking he is a perfect agent of influence. When Stahl refuses the threats began, and he finds himself stuck between those who want to fight Germany and those who want to negotiate for peace.
This book has received many praises for its extraordinary characters, from assassins, to Russian actresses, German Baronoss' and Hungarian spies. It travels Europe in a time just before WWII when tension is tight.
A love story that travels time, starting in 1962 to our present day. The author takes a simple love story and turns into into a surprising story full of twists, that spans 50 years and the tangled lives of several people. It starts on an Italian coastline when a man lost in thought looks out over the waters of the Ligurian Sea and spots a woman in a boat approaching him. He soon learns she is an American actress, and she is dying.
Then today, a man goes to a movie studio back lot to find clues about a women he saw at his hotel decades earlier.
This book spans years, connecting dots, to teach the reader lessons about life. How life influences art, and how unplanned moments are usually the most memorable ones. Walter has created a novel that believes in destiny.
