Counter-intelligence agent Jacob Welker is on a special mission to find a group of scientists who could change the course of World War II in this smartly written historical espionage thriller.

September 1939. Germany has declared war on Poland, and in German Pomerania, Professor Josef Brun is on the run from the SS, carrying secret documents that could change the course of the war. If he can make it to France or Britain. If he can survive . . .

In America, counter-intelligence agent Captain Jacob Welker is handed a special assignment from President Roosevelt. Einstein believes the Nazis are aware of a new super weapon made possible by advances in atomic science, and only a small group of scientists can stop them winning the race to develop it. Enlisting the help of his British friends, Lord Geoffrey and Patricia Saboy, Welker must find the scientists and get them out of Germany from under the Nazi's noses. As a dangerous new world of physics gathers pace, can Welker prevent the war taking a catastrophic new turn?

Industry Reviews

Suspenseful . Kurland expertly weaves Saboy's sometimes madcap antics into Welker's serious work without betraying the rules of a good espionage novel. Readers will eagerly await the next in the series * Publishers Weekly *
A delightfully daft romp in which the Saboys do most of the sleuthing, combining banter and booze in a manner that suggests Nick and Nora with a splash of Noel Coward and a nod toward Agatha Christie's Tommy and Tuppence * Booklist *
This thoroughly involving thriller stands proudly alongside Dan Fesperman's The Letter Writer (2016), Elmore Leonard's Up in Honey's Room (2007), and John Dunning's Two O'Clock, Eastern Wartime (2001), among others. Great stuff * Booklist Starred Review of The Bells of Hell *
An inherently riveting and deftly crafted political suspense/thriller of a novel by a master of the genre * Midwest Book Review on The Bells of Hell *
Don't miss this entry in the smartly structured historical series * Library Journal on Who Thinks Evil *
An entertaining farrago * Kirkus Reviews on Who Thinks Evil *
This latest in Kurland's novels about the notorious Professor Moriarty makes for fun reading. Calling Moriarty the hero of these books might stretch the meaning of hero ... but he's a fine sleuth and sure makes for a compelling protagonist. Splendid stuff * Booklist on Who Thinks Evil *
The fourth Moriarty novel by the prolific Kurland carries forward the never-ending franchise with authentic flavor * Kirkus Reviews on The Empress of India *
Lots of Indian lore adds colorful background to this "seemingly impossible crime," before its satisfying resolution * Publishers Weekly on The Empress of India *
