Swann's War

In Michael Oren's gripping literary whodunit, set against the backdrop of World War II, the quiet fishing island of Fourth Cliff faces turmoil when a murdered Italian POW is discovered in a fisherman's net. With her husband serving in the Marines, Mary Beth Swann steps up as the island's police captain, determined to earn the respect of its resilient residents. As she navigates the challenges of her role alongside a simple-minded deputy, a disgraced doctor, and a mob-connected outsider, Mary Beth must uncover the truth behind the growing number of murders to prove her worth and find the killer. This evocative tale captures the tension of a small community during a tumultuous time.
