Hiter's Judas

Author: Tom Lewis

Hiter's Judas is the second of a series of three books comprising the riveting Pea Island Gold trilogy.

THE STORY

In Hitler’s Judas, Tom Lewis introduces protagonist Martin Bormann. Bormann, possibly the closest man to Adolf Hitler, knows Hitler’s insane decision to invade Russia will destroy The Fatherland. Already in a position of enormous power, Bormann forms an intricate plan of escape. But Bormann has no intentions of escaping as a pauper.

When the right moment comes, Bormann leaves the doomed Third Reich forever, taking with him $50 million in stolen Nazi gold. His surprising destination is Pea Island, a lonely strip of sand north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Will his plan succeed?

Populated with exquisite, compelling, and memorable characters who will stay with readers long after the final page is turned, Hitler’s Judas introduces a remarkable supporting cast, including Horst Von Hellenbach, Germany’s celebrated U-Boat captain who detests war and the Nazi regime and is in terminal conflict with his sworn military duty; Elisabeth Kroll, an impressionable woman unable to choose between Horst or his twin brother Harold, a handsome, respected surgeon and fanatic Nazi; Edda Winter, Bormann’s mistress and talented actress who hopes Bormann will be her ticket to Hollywood; Klaus Berger, Germany’s most famous thespian, whose very life depends on how well he plays his most difficult role; and Sunday Everette, a stunning young black woman who stands in the way of Bormann and his goal.

Resplendent with historical detail, Hitler’s Judas is an intricate, moving and extraordinary tale of intrigue, murder and betrayal.

A Picture of the Past
A Memoir

by Taylor Reese
Publisher: Parkway Publishers, $16.95

From the farm boy off to college to the end of a successful career as a Court Reporter and businessman, this tale has it all: The trials of an education without grants, the World War II years, the married years, the search for fame years, the trials of the monkeys and snakes, the time when the blind hog found the acorn, and the time when the man who couldn't fly bought an airplane.
