Nightfall Over Shanghai

Nightfall Over Shanghai is the epic concluding volume in Daniel Kalla's Shanghai trilogy, set in 1944 as the Japanese are losing the war and Shanghai becomes increasingly dangerous. After fleeing Nazi Europe, Dr. Franz Adler and his teenage daughter, Hannah, are now imprisoned in the Shanghai Ghetto for refugee Jews, and Franz is compelled to work as a surgeon for the hated Japanese military. His wife, fellow surgeon Sunny, struggles to keep the undersupplied refugee hospital functioning. The family is drawn into the war's espionage and peril when a mysterious injured man arrives at the hospital, leading to Sunny's recruitment into an Allied spy ring. Hannah is also inadvertently pulled into the perilous operation while becoming drawn to the controversial Zionist movement. As the Japanese launch a new offensive, Franz is forced to work as a field doctor on the frontlines, where he contends with his tangled loyalties. With American B-52s bombing Shanghai in 1945, the Adler family must fight for survival and face the challenge of re-envisioning a hopeful path forward for their future.
