The Rumor Game

Following the awards recognition and critical praise for his unique series Darktown, Thomas Mullen once more reaches into 20th-century US history for a crime novel that reveals the soul of a nation. Boston, Massachusetts, during World War II. Self-destructive FBI agent Devon and up-and-coming journalist Anne find themselves separately looking into attacks on the city's Jewish community. Both the Agency and her newspaper want them to look the other way, but the discovery of a man's body with a swastika-scrawled piece of paper in his pocket catapults them into an investigation that will bring them both in danger.
