Richly rewarding, Book 4 of the Blood Orphans is a story with contemporary relevance as the final imaginative twist of the Houllette Family Saga begins with the disappearance of Annie Caywood.  The American AP reporter arrived in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1968 to investigate the founding fathers' son's mysterious death in 1948.  With the infamous American reporter missing, the Czechoslovak Investigation Department, the KGB, and the American embassy are put on alert.
Caywood, a woman who fiercely defended her belief in freedom and democracy, often became blinded to the complexities of living within the Soviet sphere. In time, she came face to face with her own self-deception as remnants of the long hidden fanatical Marxist cabala, the Rot Kapela, assassins since WWII, deal with her insatiable curiosity. Don't miss this well- researched and fascinating story of a twenty-year-old investigation and the ongoing disinformation that continues to surround it.
