Title: The Deadly Embrace
First published: 2006
Description: A razor-sharp thriller, rich with crackling dialogue and pulse-pounding suspense, that ingeniously interweaves fiction and history. Robert J. Mrazek is a natural-born storyteller, whose previous novels have been described as "gripping," "magically rendered," and "compelling" by the national press—words of praise that would equally apply to *The Deadly Embrace*. 

From bombravaged London to elegant English country estates, Lieutenant Elizabeth "Liza" Marantz and her partner, Major Sam Taggart, a troubled former New York City homicide detective, investigate the suspicious deaths of two female colleagues who were involved in sexual relationships with powerful Allied commanders. Occurring on the eve of D-Day, Liza's investigations uncover more than one conspiracy, and the very success of the war may rest in her hands.
