Follow Larry Kaplan on his virtual book tour for HOUSE OF GHOSTS
By DLS Professional Services Dated: Jun 02, 2009
Larry Kaplan, author of the exciting new novel HOUSE OF GHOSTS, will take part in a virtual book tour from June 16 through June 20, 2009. Follow along and join the fun! Imagine Raymond Chandler meets WINDS OF WAR, you will have an idea of the style, intensity and excitement that can be experienced in reading Larry Kaplan's first novel, HOUSE OF GHOSTS. The novel is a gripping mystery which takes readers through some of the most harrowing and most shrouded history of the twentieth century. From modern-day boulevards of suburban New Jersey to the streets of 1930s Brooklyn, through the halls of pre-war Princeton to the piers of pre-Castro Havana, this is a story you won't be able to put down. On an August day in 1944, Allied air forces launched a top-secret aerial assault on the I.G. Farben synthetic oil and rubber plant, the flight plan taking bombers directly over the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, only five miles away. Considering the threat endured by the Jewish population at such a late stage of their persecution, why did Allies fly a mission that bypassed Hitler's most notorious extermination camp without once trying to knock out the gas chambers or railways? In the sweltering summer of 2000, at the estate sale of the late Preston Swedge, an alcoholic recluse and World War II veteran, a diary including details of that 1944 aerial assault is found by retired detective Joe Henderson. He reads the descriptions of a rogue attempt by a Jewish-American pilot, Paul Rothstein, to drop bombs on Auschwitz and prevent the imminent murder of another 300,000 Jews. What follows is Henderson's crusade for the truth, where we meet such notables as Charles Lindbergh, Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., General Fulgencio Batista, in a shocking revelation as to why the raid on Auschwitz never happened. In the words of Public Radio WDIY host, Eleanor Bobrow, "The book just drew me in, page by page, until I really couldn't put it down." That's why Amazon readers gave House of Ghosts 4.6 out of a possible 5 stars for excellence!
