Résumé
As Anglo-American leaders gather to plan the defeat of Nazi Germany, Hitler orders the death of President Franklin Roosevelt to derail the conference. Brandon Armitage, a Canadian veteran of the Great War, has joined Canada's Volunteer Guard to oversee German prisoners; it's a role he's undertaken to seek revenge for the death of his son during a raid on the French Coast. When one of his prisoners escapes.
Armitage pursues him to a remote island above Lake Huron, where FDR is on a pre-conference fishing trip. Suspecting the German is trying to assassinate the American leader, Armitage alerts security officials. When they refuse his help, insisting their security is tight, Armitage must act alone, even as he seeks to rescue his failing marriage. The Quadrant Conspiracy is based on an actual historical incident and is set against the backdrop of the Allied march to defeat the Third Reich.
While there are elements of a thriller, the story also centers on the effect of two worldwide conflicts on a marriage. Advance praise for The Quadrant Conspiracy:At a pivotal time in World War II, did the Third Reich try to kill the U. S. president? Deep inside Canada? Allied records surviving today leave only intriguing hints. Evidence from the German side - if it existed -is said to have been destroyed in the bombing of Berlin.
From the hints to motive, means, opportunity, and actions, James Lewis has skillfully woven a suspenseful story of what might have happened in his novel, Quadrant Conspiracy.-Philip Padgett, author, Advocating OverlordWhile the historical material fascinates, it's the memorable character that powers the story. Bradon's own repressed trauma as a former prisoner-of-war hurts his marriage with Margie, who resents him for not keeping their sons from enlisting, while Margie's narrative of seeking independence and eventually coming to terms with Brandon is the emotional heart, reflecting the ways in which war shatters lives away from the field of battle....
The result is a thrilling example of historical fiction that's grounded in fact but never forgets that it's the characters who ultimately drive history.-Publisher's Weekly's BookLife The writer has written a very engaging novel of war and the intrigue of three very large world powers not totally in agreement as to how to proceed. You will find this a very informative and engaging read. 4.5 stars - CE Williams, Rosepoint Publishing
