Warm-hearted tale about finding and making a home in Italy, Umbria, and the joys of eating well, learning Italian, cementing relationships with good friends far removed from the Hollywood scene. and most importantly about the daily renewal loving someone provides.

Redemption Falls

Furst continues his masterful series of WWII espionage novels. The atmosphere is pitch-perfect as he describes the efforts of a French military attache posted to Warsaw to convince his superiors of Germany's military intentions. Furst brings history to life.

Days Of Atonement
by
Michael Gregorio

, June 13, 2008
The crime is horrific. It takes an unlikely team of a Prussian magistrate and a French criminologist to solve the murders while they learn to work together in the tense atmosphere of French-occupied Prussia. A great sequel to the "Critique of Criminal Reason."
