A Song in the Dark
336 pages · First published 2025
Blind concert pianist Chaisley Frappier tours Europe as Hitler's regime grows more dangerous and realizes her fame may give her an unusual way to help disabled people targeted by Nazi policies. British intelligence assigns Rick Zimmerman to act as her driver while carrying out covert missions of his own. Each suspects the other is hiding something, yet their separate acts of resistance increasingly overlap as official attention turns toward Chaisley. This prewar historical romantic suspense combines music, disability history, espionage, faith, and two people using very different talents against an expanding evil. A strong choice for readers drawn to courageous artists, covert resistance, and a faith-filled romance shaped by the dangers of prewar Europe.
