An Affair of Spies A Novel

During the height of World War II, as the Allies race to develop a nuclear weapon before the Nazis, a high-stakes espionage mission is launched. The protagonist, Nathan Silverman, a German Jew who escaped to New York, is a US soldier and former 'Ritchie Boy' recruited for a special assignment by the Manhattan Project. His mission is to return to his native Berlin, traveling through France, to facilitate the defection of a German theoretical physicist, Dr. Gunther Snyder—a former colleague and friend of Nathan's physicist father—who holds the key to Germany's nuclear secrets. Nathan is accompanied by Dr. Allison Fisher, a brilliant young American physicist, whose role is to verify the scientific information the defector provides. The two inexperienced spies embark on a harrowing journey fraught with danger, where their budding relationship develops against a backdrop of life-and-death stakes, all while Nathan also desperately searches for the fate of the family he was forced to leave behind in Germany.
