“Nathaniel’s Nutmeg”
Bought it last month at the used bookstore. I’ll start it as soon as I finish the one I am reading now, Beyond the Call by Lee Trimble. The story is about his father’s covert mission to rescue American POWs left behind in Eastern European countries after Nazi camps were liberated by the Soviets, who rendered no assistance and left them to die as they pushed on to Berlin.
I spent some time looking for the title of that other book, also out in ‘98 or ‘99, and found bupkis. I think it flopped in original, but got picked up by Penguin Publishing. IOW, I have very specific recollections about the book, but have no idea about its title or author. [blush]
And it could very well be that the one you’ve been reading is the one that wound up on Penguin...
