It's 1942 and Iris is a high-school girl smack dab in the middle of New
York City - and a German Jew. At school, threatening notes are being
left in Jewish students' lockers, and at home she is adjusting to life
without her mother (an apparent suicide) and with a father that has lost
a leg during Pearl Harbor. Iris is trying to help her father with some
light detective work but gets caught up in a heavy case that hits
dangerously close to home.
Well written and refreshingly light (even with some heavy topics), this novel is sure to grab your attention from the beginning. A great clean mystery; those of historical fiction will particularly fall in love with the era and the subject matter.
