About the Book

On the eve of the Planned D-Day invasion of Hitler's Fortress Europe, Lieutenant Elizabeth "Liza" Marantz arrives in London, the city streets aflame in the aftermath of a massive Luftwaffe bombing attack. Teamed up with Major Sam Taggart, a troubled former New York City homicide detective, she must investigate the deaths of two female colleagues who were involved in sexual relationships with powerful Allied commanders. As Liza's investigation leads from bomb-ravaged London to elegant English country estates, it becomes clear that more than one conspiracy is afoot--and that the very success of the war may rest in her hands. With rich dialogue and pulse-pounding suspense, The Deadly Embrace is a razor-sharp thriller, ingenious in its interweaving of fictional characters with real-life figures, and filled with fascinating historical atmosphere and detail.

About the Author :
Robert Mrazek is the author of four novels, including The Deadly Embrace (Viking), which won the W.Y. Boyd Literary Award for Excellence in Military Fiction from the American Library Association; Unholy Fire; and Stonewall's Gold, winner of the Michael Shaara Prize for Best Civil War Novel of 1999. He is also the author of two works of nonfiction, To Kingdom Come (NAL Trade) and A Dawn Like Thunder (Little, Brown). The latter is the true story of Torpedo Squadron Eight at the battles of Midway and Guadalcanal. Mrazek is a former five-term US congressman who authored laws to protect the Tongass National Forest in Alaska and the Manassas Civil War battlefield in Virginia. He also wrote the Amerasian Homecoming Act, which brought home the children of American military personnel from Vietnam, and the National Film Preservation Act, which established the National Film Registry in the Library of Congress. Since his retirement from politics, Mrazek has served on the boards of numerous charitable organizations. He is cofounder of the Alaska Wilderness League and served as its chairman for ten years.

Review :
"A fast-paced thriller laced with violence and filled with unexpected twists that keep the reader guessing to the last page." --Rennie Airth, author of The Blood-Dimmed Tide "A first-rate World War II adventure with two finely drawn heroes. Robert Mrazek has done a great job bringing time past into the present tense." --Susan Isaacs, author of Shining Through "An intricate and stunning plot . . . Mrazek lends true emotion and depth to this remarkable story of intrigue and suspense." --Nelson DeMille, author of The General's Daughter "Mrazek plans and executes a clever entertainment." --Publishers Weekly
