Anna Braverman comes from a long line of intelligence agents, but her late father insisted she follow a different path and become an accountant. When an urgent summons arrives from her only living relative, Uncle Ezra, Anna drops everything to meet him in a café on the outskirts of Reykjavík, Iceland. Uncle Ezra sweeps her into a decades-old mystery as he explains that her great-grandfather, a famous Jewish artist, was accused of being a Nazi sympathizer. He wants Anna to help him disprove the lie and expose the truth. But they can trust no one. Any skepticism Anna may have harbored disappears when her uncle is shot. Barely alive, he utters one final word: “Run.”
Though he met Ezra only briefly, journalist Kristofer Tómasson knows the information the old man passed on to his niece is likely the reason he was murdered. Now his niece’s life is also in peril. Despite the danger, Kristofer approaches Anna with an offer to help in exchange for an exclusive story. United by a common goal, as well as an undeniable spark of attraction, Anna and Kristofer race to uncover the mysteries of the past—that is, if they survive.

Such an interesting and suspenseful read! Anna’s family has been trying to uncover the truth about what happened to their ancestors during WWII but someone will go to great lengths to keep the truth hidden. The historical aspect was fascinating as I didn’t know much about the fate of the Danish Jews during the Holocaust.
The suspense starts right from the beginning and just gets more intense as the book goes. There were lots of plot twists that kept the story moving even if some of them were a little predictable. Overall, an enjoyable suspense with a taste of clean romance! Definitely recommend!
