THE NEXT WORDS HE WRITES COULD BE HIS LAST . . .


Austria, 1938: The Vienna Writers Circle meets at Café Mozart to share hopeful stories during a hopeless time.


But when the Nazis take over, everything changes. With their Jewish families' now under threat, the writers hide using false identities, their stories becoming their only salvation.


Then a local policeman begins a dangerous mission to help them. But he faces conflicts of his own: having declared his love for a beautiful Romani-gypsy girl, Deya Reynes, he fears that she too will be sent to her death.


When all they have left is courage, will they survive?

J. C. Maetis

J.C. Maetis is better known as British thriller writer John Matthews whose books have sold over 1.6 million copies and been translated in 14 languages. Maetis is the name of his father's Jewish family, who left Lithuania for London in 1919 in the wake of Jewish pogroms.

However, many of his extended family sadly died when Hitler invaded Lithuania in 1941, and so this book is a tribute to them. Maetis now lives in Surrey, England, and is working on his second book, The Fortune Teller of Berlin.
