The War Widow

Following the end of World War II, former war correspondent Billie Walker makes her way home to Sydney, Australia, and reopens her father’s private investigation office. Even though her husband, Jack, is still missing somewhere in Europe, she ties to put the trauma of the war behind her and steps into the role of detective—tracking down small-time criminals, following cheating husbands, and searching for missing people. But when a young man, the son of Jewish immigrants, goes missing, Billie must deal with a situation that quickly becomes just as dangerous as anything she had faced during the war. The case of Adin Brown involves stakeouts at glamorous nightclubs, romance, fugitive Nazi war criminals, and 50mph car chases, adding suspense and drama to this superb page-turner.
