The Golden Peacock: a Rainee Allen mystery

by Lauren B. Grossman

Overview

Author Rainee Allen had success with her first novel, but is now under a deadline to write a second one. While experiencing writer's block, she comes across an identification card of a Holocaust survivor with whom she shares a birth date (with a thirty-year difference).
Determined to find this woman and tell her story, she travels to London where Jana Lutken lives. To her sad surprise, Jana is living in a nursing home and has Alzheimer's disease.
The sight of a young doctor serves as a trigger, and suddenly Jana is reliving the Holocaust once again.
Rainee, determined to find out why this man creates terror in Jana's eyes, innocently opens a long-kept secret and finds herself entangled in mystery, intrigue and suspense. The reader will be surprised with the sudden twists that occur in the story. They never see it coming.
