The Ghosts Of Rome

Description

The Contessa Giovanna Landini takes on Gestapo chief Paul Hauptmann in a daring mission in Occupied Rome.

February 1944. Six months since Nazi forces occupied Rome.

Inside the beleaguered city, the Contessa Giovanna Landini is a member of the band of Escape Line activists known as 'The Choir'. Their mission is to smuggle refugees to safety and help Allied soldiers, all under the nose of Gestapo boss Paul Hauptmann.

During a ferocious morning air raid, a mysterious parachutist lands in Rome and disappears into the backstreets. Is he an ally or an imposter? His fate will come to put the whole Escape Line at risk.

Meanwhile, Hauptmann's attention has landed on the Contessa. As his fascination grows, she is pulled into a dangerous game with him—one where the consequences could be lethal.

Thrilling, terrifying and entertaining in equal measure - Liz Nugent, Number One Bestselling author of Strange Sally Diamond
