Publisher's Synopsis
October 1939-What happens when you run from danger... and into a trap?
After the Anschluss, Austria becomes a place its citizens don't recognize-especially its Jewish citizens. Whispers ripple through Jewish communities-whispers about a chalet where a woman protects Jewish children from discovery. She'll keep them safe, fed, and far away from Nazis.
Parents are forced to make horrific decisions. Send their children away to safety, possibly never seeing them again, or keep their families together and risk their children's lives?
Hans Hartmann arrives at the chalet with a chip on his shoulder and a little girl in tow. He found Grete waiting at the train station. Alone. But life at Chalet Versteck feels more ominous than the streets of Vienna. Children sometimes vanish, and before Hans can figure out what's happening, a high-ranking officer appears-and is killed.
It's a race to find out who killed the man and get himself (and probably that pesky Grete) out!
A Ransomed Grete is the bridge book between the 1920s and 1940s Ever After Mysteries, combining fairy tales with mysteries.
