Reviews

From Dana Alioto: ""Just when you thought a work of fiction couldn't possibly provide any new twists in the search for expat Nazis, Mr. Barger delights us with a tale of suspense, terrorism and espionage with nuance entirely fresh in its delivery. And to think that this all comes to light because Naval Academy grads, Emma and Jordan attend what should have been a simple funeral and reading of a will. With backdrops and locales that are worthy of any Bond escapade, our two heroes find themselves immersed in an adventure of intrigue, while yet enjoying the ambience and culture of those cities where this journey sends them. "" Dana Alioto, Author of ""Hey Nineteen; A Memoir of Growing Up in Milwaukee""
