The Shocking Secret of World War II
by Vic Robbie
It's the secret they don't want you to find out – buried in government archives and not to be revealed until 2045. As the Germans are about to invade Paris in 1940 American Ben Peters attempts to smuggle a fortune in platinum out of the city in the legendary Bullion Bentley. But the Bentley is carrying an even more valuable human cargo, a mysterious Frenchwoman escaping with her young son and a secret that could change the course of the Second World War. Alena and Ben are the targets of Adolf Hitler's ruthless investigator Ludwig Weber, whose family will be executed if he fails. His orders are to silence Alena before she can reveal her secret; capture her young son and take him back to Berlin; and recover the Banque de France's platinum. As they flee their hunter, they experience the stark and tragic realities of war and the raw emotions of two brave people living on the edge of fear. And not everything is as it seems. Who is Alena and what is her secret that could destroy everything the Nazi movement stands for?

FictionHana
by Alena Mornštajnová
If there’s one thing that brings home the trueness of human life, it’s suffering. And if there’s one thing that degrades life, it’s the suffering someone causes others. But what if this someone is innocent? What if it’s all an accident? It’s 1954 and nine‑year‑old Mira goes to the river to ride the floating ice, something her parents have forbidden her to do. She falls into the water, so exposing her disobedience. As a punishment, she is given no dessert at a family party. This innocent childhood episode marks a major turning point in Mira’s life. It is followed by a tragedy that for many years binds her to her taciturn, depressive aunt Hana and reveals a troubled family history that will continue to float like a block of ice in the current of her life. Alena Mornštajnová’s story, which is based on real events, is told at such pace and with such drama that the reader might be watching a gripping movie. The big question is, will the fateful ice finally melt? Awards: Czech Book Award 2017 (both the main prize and the Students' award), Databáze knih Award (Book of the Year 2017 and New Book of 2017)

Amazed to find both houses empty of servants and in a state of disrepair he berates himself for not returning home earlier.
