A Bodyguard of Lies is one of those books that grabs you right from the start. There are two story-lines here, one about  FBI agent Jake Bernstein recruited to investigate an old case regarding Nazi war crimes. The other story line is about Mary McCoy, the 80+ grandmother he is investigating for these crimes. To get close to Mary, Jake is sent on a tour where he gets close to Meg, Mary's granddaughter. He finds himself falling for this beautiful woman and is putting his investigation at risk. Even after all the years since WWII, Nazi war criminals are still being hunted and this story gives the reader an idea of what life was like to have people persecuted for their beliefs. Told with authoritativeness, the author brings the reader into the world of espionage and danger. Even today there are Neo Nazi groups out to make the world "pure Aryan".There is also romance blended in with the mystery which makes the  book a great read. Exploring the the intricacies of human emotion and passion for a cause, A Bodyguard of Lies is a must read, a historical fiction if you will that tells the horrifying story of how much devastation and loss there is in a war and how love perseveres even in the face of fanatical atrocities. There is just the right amount of steamy sex that does not overtake the story being told. I highly recommend this book.
