I couldn't put it down and cried at the end. ARC ReaderFlying Without Wings
At the close of World War II in TerezÃn Concentration Camp 1945 a young Jewish boy, Johan Falkner, overhears a deadly secret about the final legacy of the Third Reich.
Forty years later, in rural England, Matt Buttrick learns of a hidden Nazi rumoured to be living in the area.
Are the two connected? And what is the mysterious treasure that one of two men took from Germany on a flight from an abandoned airfield near Bremen at the end of the war?
The discovery of a body confirms that ruthless people are also searching for this treasure, and the safety of Matt's family may depend on him getting to it first. The only problem is that to do so he will have to talk to the man he holds responsible for the greatest loss in his life, and in doing so confront his broken dream of taking to the skies.
Fly with a young man through life's journey of hopes, dreams and tragedies!
ARC Reader: World War II is not my genre. That being said, this was an EXCELLENT story!!! I really, really enjoyed it! And the story is woven between World War II and the modern world of 1985.
