About this ebook
The first book in the Louise Pearlie Mysteries is “Sarah Shaber’s best novel yet” (Margaret Maron).
It’s 1942. Louise Pearlie, a young widow, has come to Washington, DC to work for the legendary Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the CIA. When she discovers a document concerning the husband of her college friend Rachel Bloch—a young French Jewish woman she is desperately worried about—Louise realizes she may be able to help Rachel escape from Vichy France. But then a colleague whose help Louise has enlisted is murdered, and she realizes she is on her own, unable to trust anyone . . .
“A satisfying puzzle as well as a vivid picture of Washington during WWII.” —Publishers Weekly
“An auspicious debut.” —Library Journal

Washington DC, WW2, women's-fiction, suspense Can you call it a murder mystery if it takes most of the book before the murder is no longer called *a heart attack*? Louise works as a file clerk for a clandestine agency and discovered that the good friend from college is in danger from the Nazis in occupied France. Just after she passed information to her boss that would help her friend and her family, the man is found dead of an apparent heart attack and his office a mess. The file that would help her friend goes missing and the story gets progressively more interesting! The story is well worth the read, but narrator Jenny Hoops makes it even more so!
