City of Masks : A Novel of Shanghai
Overview
A terrific read, full of surprises-an action-packed story of grifters, gangsters, and spies in WWII Shanghai.
World War II-era international Shanghai is a city of refugees, grifters, gangsters, and spies.
Obermann, on the run from the US, is one of them, quickly enmeshed in a deadly game of hide-and-seek with Green Gang gangsters. Recruited by the OSS for an underground role in an ingenious plot to sabotage the local German-Japanese Axis war effort, he is on his own in a perilous kabuki dance of pretense and deceit, navigating the local Nazi leadership and the Japanese Kempeitai hot on his heels.
A daring prison escape of Allied POWs goes off the rails, and when the OSS plot is betrayed, it's up to Obermann and Steffi, a mysterious Jewish refugee, to save it from disaster.
In a thrilling, last-minute, desperate effort, Obermann and Steffi must find a way to warn the Americans while saving Shanghai's Jewish refugees from the Nazi Holocaust.
