Bonnie Toews continues to write on themes of treason and triumph in espionage intrigue.

Logline for Book 2: In a hunt for war criminals, an investigative journalist uncovers crossed identities that betray Russian Mennonites and implant secret Nazis in positions of world power.

Story Line: At the end of World WAR II, the British repatriate the Mennonites, who were liberated in the Ukraine by the Nazis and resettled in Germany during the war, to Stalin. Stalin condemns them to slave labor in Siberia. Strange bedfellows form between those fleeing the British and Stalin in a tale rich in treachery, political intrigue and characters, whose values, morals and religious beliefs are twisted inside out as they grapple with events shaping their decisions and the consequences they govern. In the midst of this tragic injustice looms the ghost of Hitler’s 1,000-year promise and one man’s dream to rebuild The Third Reich worldwide.
