Liverpool, 1940. "Where's George?" Ruth didn't realise that she had grabbed hold of the other woman's arms. "Where's my son?"
Journalist Ruth Holt is struggling in the terror of the Blitz when her young son is suddenly snatched away in broad daylight. Soon after, the kidnappers' demands arrive. They are working with the Nazis, and she has no choice but to co-operate, or the authorities will learn that she is harbouring secrets of her own.
Ruth's job gives her access to critical information, and if she does not share it with Britain's enemies, her child will face the consequences. Desperate, she falsifies information, lying to everyone: her employers, her family and her lover. But as the demands increase, the knife edge she walks on grows increasingly thin. If she falls, she will never save her son.
M.J. Hollows latest literary masterpiece, The German Messenger, is a gripping adventure set in the 20th century. The narrative is a thrilling blend of historical fiction and military action, with a mother's love at its core.
For fans of Vicki Beeby (The Ops Room Girls), Kate Eastham (Miss Nightingale's Nurses), Ruth Druart (The Last Hours in Paris), Lily Graham (The Last Restaurant in Paris), and Dinah Jefferies (The Hidden Palace).
