"It's the summer of 1940 and Europe is in the grip of the Nazi war machine. Jack Teller arrives in neutral Lisbon on the arm of international screen legend Lili Sterne, to help her search for her childhood friend, Eva Lange. Having escaped Germany, staying one step ahead of the Nazi terror, Eva is believed to be hiding among the thousands of desperate refugees who have descended upon Lisbon. But Jack isn't the first on her trail. Top Hollywood detective Eddie Grimes had been on the case - until he turned up dead." "Instead of answers, Jack uncovers a series of lies that leads from Estoril's glittering nightclubs - rubbing elbows with the likes of Edward, Duke of Windsor, and his scheming wife, Wallis Simpson - into Lisbon's dank and dangerous backstreets. Along the way, Jack makes a shocking discovery that takes him from Portugal to the perilous boulevards of Nazi-occupied Paris, where his actions could change the course of the war."--BOOK JACKET.Gabbay, Tom is the author of 'Lisbon Crossing ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780061188435 and ISBN 0061188433.
