Roger L. Conlee ist ein gefeierter Autor, der sich mit Geschichte und Spannung auseinandersetzt, um fesselnde Erzählungen zu schaffen. Seine Romane erforschen oft vielschichtige Charakter-Motivationen, wie die eines Reporters, der in Nazi-Deutschland alles riskiert, oder die eines Mannes, der sich mit Krieg, Spionage und Zeitreisen auseinandersetzt. Conlees Stil, bereichert durch seinen umfassenden journalistischen Hintergrund, bringt eine frische und authentische Perspektive in seine Fiktion ein. Er schreibt über die Vergangenheit, die in der Gegenwart widerhallt und die Leser in spannende Handlungsstränge zieht.
In 1953, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill vanishes and Whitehall goes into panic. Has the old lion, now 79 years old, been kidnapped? Murdered? In Roger Conlee's ninth historical novel, Jake Weaver and his daughter Ilse head for Berlin to penetrate the Iron Curtain and unravel the mystery--if they can.
Set in the early 1950s, the novel's double plot describes events in Los Angeles following the death of newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst; and early events in the Korean War. The two-pronged plot involves two long-time friends, an ace reporter and a young marine officer who become enmeshed in harrowing and perhaps disillusioning events.
In the alps of Germany and Austria, legend has it that the souls of the dead ride the strange, unseasonable wind known as the Foehn. In SOULS ON THE WIND, readers ride that mysterious zephyr from Vienna to California and, just possibly, into one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. All because of a stolen crown jewel that may have supernatural qualities. SOULS ON THE WIND is psychic-thriller, love story, ghost story, and science fiction all rolled up in one.
