Dr. B.

Based on his grandfather’s life, this debut novel explores the tangled world of book publishing, émigrés, spies, and diplomats in Sweden during World War II. It follows a German-Jewish journalist who, after fleeing Nazi Germany, becomes involved with British intelligence operations and faces moral dilemmas amid a backdrop of wartime intrigue. Praised as a gripping thriller with rich historical detail, the story illuminates a lesser-known facet of the global conflict.
