Tommy Mooney—back in England after his adventures in Telegram For Mrs. Mooney —goes with his brother’s fiancée to RAF Rochford, where he begins to suspect that a Nazi spy is working mischief at the base. Airmen are mysteriously wounded, Spitfires are sabotaged, someone has been poisoning the food. No one escapes Tommy’s radar, especially after Daphne falls ill and is hospitalized. That night the base is attacked, setting off a chain of events that will either prove Tommy to be a fool or a hero. Hearkening back to the Hitchcock film, Saboteur, and the WWII era mysteries of Eric Ambler and Helen MacInnis, Message For Hitler is narrated by a truly likable, sometimes irascible, archetypal "everyman" hero. It's a edge-of-your-seat, hair-raising, nail-biter of an adventure. A novel with the power to invoke the fearless child within you.

It's 1943, and Tommy Mooney is stuck at Warfield Hall with his English guardians, Lord and Lady Sopwith. A winter storm is coming, and so are some of the world's most brilliant physicists, along with a high-ranking American general. Tommy knows this is no ordinary house party, not when some of the guests are from enemy countries. Good thing Tommy's got 20/20 vision and sharp ears. There'll be no shenanigans on his watch. Not if he can help it-which he might not be able to.

Tommy Mooney-a hero after his adventures in Nazi-occupied Europe and wartime Britain-is back at Warfield Hall in England when he gets a call from his friend Daphne. "We've a letter from Paris," she says. "A very odd sort of letter." The letter, written in invisible ink, is from their Parisian friend, begging them to help find her sister Sophie, who has gone missing. There is no way that Daphne is returning to German-occupied Europe. Unless, that is, Tommy can find a way to drag her there.A mystery involving a stolen masterpiece, communist Resistance members, and a foolhardy attempt on the life of Hermann-the rat-fink-Göring, leader of the Luftwaffe.Hearkening back to the Hitchcock film, Saboteur, and the WWII era mysteries of Eric Ambler and Helen MacInnis, Letter Via Paris continues a series featuring a truly likable, sometimes irascible, archetypal "everyman" hero.
