Paris. 1920.
The war is over.
The killing isn't.

A debut novel of espionage, betrayal, and the collision of three extraordinary lives in the shadow of a broken world.

In 1920 Paris, the Great War is a fresh wound — and someone is using that wound to bleed the world again.

Gerhard Schroder survived the trenches, watched Versailles strip Germany bare, and decided he would not wait for history to change. His plan: use a respectable French shipping company to funnel weapons back into Germany. Quietly. Surgically. Without mercy.

Mark Webb arrives in Paris young, sheltered, and completely unprepared. The son of an Atlanta manufacturer on a business trip to Europe, he has no reason to be involved in any of this — until he meets Marie Chatel.

Marie is the daughter of the man running the shipping company. She's brilliant, furious at being shut out of her father's world, and determined to prove herself equal to any man at any table. She has no idea what her father is hiding.

When Mark and Marie begin to suspect the truth, they find themselves caught between a German operative who will kill without hesitation and an American intelligence agency that predates the CIA — the Black Chamber. Neither side is entirely trustworthy. Neither side will stop.

Echoes of Paris is the first novel in a planned ten-book series spanning 1920–1944.
