Publisher's summary

Berlin 1936—the Grand Illusion has begun.

With the coming of the Olympic Games to Berlin, a false air of civility has taken over as the government extends a welcome to the world. But below the surface, the police state remains, and hundreds of so-called “undesirables” are rounded up and held in a newly constructed concentration camp in the city. In desperation, one of the prisoners reaches out to the Ritter family, and Maureen and her band of subversives will undertake a mission of mercy that could see them all end up as victims of the dreaded Gestapo.

When one of his old war buddies appears in Berlin, Seamus Ritter realizes it’s no coincidence. Soon, he will be enlisted to infiltrate the Nazi establishment and report back to the Americans on the Nazi progress in building the most advanced war machine the world has ever known.

Michael Ritter’s dream has become a reality as he prepares to compete in the 100 meters against the seemingly unbeatable American, Jesse Owens. But at a lavish party on the eve of the games, he meets a beautiful stranger who could upend his life and change his fate.

The Grand Illusion is the fourth novel in a new series by the number one Amazon best-selling author of White Rose, Black Forest, and The Longest Echo, set in Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s. Download it and discover Eoin Dempsey’s books today.

Excellent! Love listening to this book. I realize it's a story, but the history of what happened leading up to WWII, is invaluable. Thank-you.
