Description:
Getting caught in the middle of an international art theft ring wasn't supposed to be part of the deal Kat Lawson made with her dying father. But when her father receives a mysterious letter informing the former WW2 navigator/bombardier that his downed B-24 has been found and asking him to come to Hungary, Kat suspects this is all part of some senior rip-off scam. Her father insists she go, not only to photograph the final resting place of his plane but also to find the mother and son who risked their lives to rescue him and hid him in a cave beneath an old Roman fortress. Kat's trip uncovers not only the secrets of the cave where her father hid and of those who rescued him, but a secret that will forever change the direction of her life-that is-if she can get home safely.
Brief description: Nancy Cole Silverman spent nearly twenty-five years in news and talk radio, beginning her career in college on the talent side as one of the first female voices on the air. Later on the business side in Los Angeles, she retired as one of two female general managers in the nation's second-largest radio market. After a successful career in the radio industry, Silverman retired to write fiction. Her short stories and crime-focused novels-the Carol Childs and Misty Dawn Mysteries, (Henry Press) are both Los Angeles-based. Her newest series, The Navigator's Daughter, (Level Best Books) takes a more international approach. Silverman lives in Los Angeles with her husband and a thoroughly pampered standard poodle.
Review Quotes:
"Silverman spins a spellbinding tale of intrigue, family, and the complexities of war. Seeped in historical detail and set against the backdrop of post-war Hungary, The Navigator's Daughter takes the reader on a journey that's as much about self-discovery and the bonds of love and loyalty as it is about the past." - Wendy Tyson, author of A Dark Homage
"Investigative journalist Kat Lawson is on a mission to fulfill her father's dying wish, but when the secrets she uncovers take a dangerous turn, Kat worries if she'll make it home in time to tell her father 'Mission accomplished.' Silverman's Navigator's Daughter, packed with emotion and intrigue, promises to keep readers turning pages."-- Lynn Chandler Willis, award-winning author of the Ava Logan Series, and the Shamus Award finalist, Wink of an Eye
"Silverman's tale of a daughter's journey to discover her father's past held me totally captivated and unable to put this riveting novel down. Kat Lawson is equal parts wounded, loyal, and brave, with a healthy dose of skepticism-the kind of heroine I would love to meet in person."-Annette Dashofy, USA Today bestselling author of the Zoe Chambers mystery series
