The Quest for Anna Klein by Thomas H. Cook

On the eve of WWII, an international plot leads to a deadly obsession: "Nobody tells a story better than Thomas H. Cook" (Michael Connelly, New York Times-bestselling author of Two Kinds of Truth).

It's 1939 and the world is on the brink of war, but Thomas Danforth is in New York City living a fortunate life. The well-traveled son of a wealthy importer, he's in his twenties and running the family business, looking forward to a bright future. Then, during a snowy evening walk along Gramercy Park, a friend makes a fateful request-and involves Thomas in a dangerous idea that could change the fates of millions.

Thomas is to provide access to his secluded Connecticut mansion, where a mysterious woman will receive training in firearms and explosives. Thus begins an international plot carried out by the strange and alluring Anna Klein-a plot that will ensnare Thomas in more ways than one. When it all goes wrong and Anna disappears, he will travel far from home once again, but this time, into a war-torn world that is far more dangerous, in this story by an Edgar Award-winning author known for his "piercing thrillers" (New York Daily News).

"No other suspense writer takes readers as deeply into the heart of darkness as Thomas H. Cook." -Chicago Tribune
