(NAPSI)-A stirring debut novel set between two World Wars takes readers on a wild adventure across continents as one man seeks to hide from his past. In the process, he loses who he is and lives a life on the run, filled with silent lies.
Inspired by events in the author's family history, this fascinating historical drama, set mainly from World War I up to World War II, is about a young Hungarian who inadvertently becomes embroiled in a counterfeit scheme that results in a murder and a lifetime of running from the truth, the law and the underworld.
"Silent Lies" by M. L. Malcolm (Longstreet Press, $24.95) takes the reader through Budapest during World War I, when young Leo comes back disillusioned by the war. Leo tries to use his talent with languages to reinvent himself, but ends up inadvertently getting caught up in an international scandal. He flees to Shanghai to try to make a new life for himself and the woman he loves. When the Japanese invade in 1937, he has to confront his past and try to protect his family from the consequences of his many silent lies.
This exciting novel about a man caught up in a riptide of events beyond his control, graphically illustrates what we're willing to do for love and the desperate risks we take to cover up our mistakes and ensure our own survival, even when the chosen road may lead to mayhem.
