Nazis and The Occult Conspiracy
|
My novel SHADOWS IN THE MIST is a supernatural mystery that explores the Nazis and their facination with the Occult. The good guys are a U.S. GI platoon known as The Lucky Seven, led by Lieutenant Jack Chambers. During the first weeks of October 1944, the Lt. Chambers and his platoon have pushed the Germans out of France and Belgium and now are fighting tooth-and-nail in the bloody Huertgen Forest that borders Belgium and Germany. All Lt. Chambers wants to do is get his few surviving buddies out of the war in one piece. But Fate has a different agenda for the Lucky Seven, and especially Jack Chambers who has ties to a top-secret war he didn't even know was taking place. Until now. Read more ...
