TARGET SWITZERLAND is a Gripping Historical Novel

The year is 1939 and Europe is hurtling toward war.  Paul Muller is a Swiss intelligence agent trying to fend off threats from Germany, but also from Britain and France.  Secret agreements reveal unexpected danger and menacing entanglements loom as Switzerland becomes a target in the impending conflict.

Target Switzerland is another plunge into the cauldron of pre-war Europe by the author, who once again delivers a richly atmospheric narrative transporting the reader into that fraught era.  Muller uncovers plots to gain advantage by ruse and ploy—and resort to violence.  It is a compelling story of intrigue and deception..

The novel draws on little known historical facts in fashioning a taut and absorbing storyline.  Diplomatic deception leads to high stakes disputes and risky encounters as Muller confronts spies, negotiates with corrupt arms dealers and unravels subversive financial transactions.

The atmosphere of doubt and fear will resonate with readers as characters face dangerous choices, unwitting actors on a path to war.
