It is November 1947, and Mason and Laura are struggling to adapt to domestic life after years of harrowing adventures and the trauma they carried home. That fragile balance between a troubled past and a hopeful future is shattered when Mason's best friend, U.S. Army intelligence officer Mike Forester, calls Mason from Berlin in desperation. He's been framed for murder and treason and pleads for their help. Upon his and Laura's arrival in the ruined city, they learn Forester is missing and last seen heading into the Soviet-controlled sector, a hazardous place for any American. As they track down elusive witnesses and dubious leads, everyone they meet could be a suspect. To make matters worse, a team of ex-Nazi spies seem hellbent on shutting down their investigation. The question becomes, what do these former Nazis have to do with Forester, and are they serving a Soviet master, or is someone closer to home pulling the strings? It quickly becomes a race against time to clear Forester's name and uncover the truth, and just as they begin to crack the case, their mission devolves into a desperate battle for survival against ruthless adversaries determined to silence them at any cost. Set against the backdrop of war-torn Berlin, "At Their Own Peril" is a gripping tale where the bonds of love and limits of courage are tested, and the shadows of the Cold War loom large. With its richly drawn characters and pulse-pounding suspense, this compelling novel will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
