Bodyguard of Deception by Samuel Marquis Spotlight!

“A fast-paced, riveting WWII espionage thriller. Bodyguard of Deception is as good as the best of Daniel Silva, Ken Follett, Alan Furst, and David Baldacci and brings back fond memories of the classic movie The Great Escape and Silva’s finest novel, The Unlikely Spy.”

About Bodyguard of Deception
Can the American and British Allies stop a vaunted German spymaster and his U-boat- commander brother from warning Hitler’s High Command about the Allies’ greatest military secret?

It is a secret that could win the war for Germany—or, at the very least, delay the outcome for years with an inestimable cost in bloodshed, physical destruction, and suffering. And it is a secret that the two contentious brothers must grapple with within their own Wehrmacht ranks, as they bring U.S. and British intelligence to their knees on America’s doorstep with the clock to D-Day ticking down.

From a U-boat on the frigid North Sea to a brutal British interrogation center in heart of London to a remote German-POW camp and the world-famous Broadmoor Hotel overlooking the high plains and snow-dusted mountain peaks of Colorado, Bodyguard of Deception will keep you guessing until the final chapter. The first book of #1 Denver Post bestselling, award-winning suspense author Samuel Marquis’s World War II Trilogy.
