Lilacs out of the Dead Land, a coda to Jones' critically acclaimed VIENNESE MYSTERIES series, is set in Austria shortly after the German annexation, or Anschluss, in March 1938.
Art historian Frieda von Werthen, with ties to the resistance, and her childhood friend, Franz Hruda, now a disaffected inspector in the Vienna criminal police, Kripo, become unlikely conspirators and lovers in a life-or-death mission.
Their goal: to deliver Case Green, a secret Nazi plan for the coming German invasion of Czechoslovakia, to the French and British. In doing so, they hope to put a stop to Western appeasement and call Hitler's bluff before the world stumbles once again into war.
This mission is closely tracked by an ambitious officer of the SS security services and his troubled fixer, Falke, both of whom will do anything to recover this secret plan.
Lilacs out of the Dead Land is at once an exciting game of cat and mouse, a love story, an ode to a lost world, and an inspiring tale of human devotion and sacrifice.
