Report

"Schumacher's assured and atmospheric writing make this a memorable novel. . . . But it's the characters in The Darkest Hour-from the scene-stealing child to the SS secretary whose double (triple?) agent duties are provoking an identity crisis-who make the reader care what happens." Wall Street Journal
