Cave Dwellers: A novel - Rilegato

"An intelligent, sharply focused, high-stakes drama . . . a transatlantic, cross-country cat-and-mouse chase [that] hastens toward a conclusion that manages to excite but at the same time examine, most notably, questions of trust, loyalty and patriotism."—Malcolm Forbest, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"An absorbing tale of espionage wrapped in enough cloak-und­-dagger episodes to make anyone’s Kopf spin. Intrigue and menace mixed here with delicious dollops of humor make a great read for those interested in that bygone era. Absolutely wunderbar!"—Edward B. Cone, Library Journal (starred review)

"An understated, entertaining [and] exceptional period thriller focused on homegrown opposition to Hitler. . . . Grant builds tension slowly, then ratchets it up with fine pacing.  The main characters are well-drawn, but the minor ones are also memorable, from a White Russian princess in an ancien régime Berlin salon to a cabaret mentalist."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Intricate . . . a clever story of suspense and treachery as growing resistance to Hitler and the Nazis force desperate opponents to act. . . . Pursuits, shoot-outs, surprising plot twists, and an exciting showdown at an alpine mountain lodge complete this remarkably tense and well-crafted thriller.”—Publishers Weekly
