2019: Alison Wiley, a once-idealistic biotech CEO, is processing her new reality: she’s the last bud on the last branch of her family tree. On the heels of her mother’s illness and crushing death, a phone call from Scott Wilcox, a former combat medic turned government investigator, pulls her into a seventy-four year old mystery that begins beneath the surface of a Norwegian glacier.
1945: Squadron Leader Jack Barton, a cocky Royal Canadian Air Force pilot, flies combat missions over occupied Europe. Major Günther Graf, a war-weary and disillusioned Luftwaffe pilot, is trapped in the unspeakable horrors of Nazi Germany. Their paths, so different yet so similar, are connected by a young girl, a victim of appalling cruelty who may carry the promise of a better future.
Someone stumbles across a small piece of corroded metal beneath the surface of a Norwegian glacier, and that starts the story in motion that this novel contains. It spans 74 years so the mystery runs deep.
The central mystery includes a Royal Canadian Air Force lane that goes missing in 1945. Years later, the mystery of that day is about to come back and haunt the present.
From an RAF base to a Norwegian glacier via a Nazi research facility, the settings in this story really are unique.
