ABOUT THE BOOK
The Cold War is over, but The Wolf is still at the door.
When Violet Lundy isn’t cleaning rooms at Happy Hills Assisted Living Facility, she loves spending her free time with resident Rainer Kopecek. Hearing his stories of the dangerous life he led behind the Iron Curtain in East Berlin makes her own life seem more tolerable. But when Rainer is found dead and his room in disarray, Violet suspects foul play.
Dr. Henry Silverton lives among his books, teaching and writing about the Cold War. A letter about an East German traitor known only as “The Wolf” propels Henry out of academia and into Violet’s life. Together, they embark on a perilous quest to uncover the truth about Rainer’s death and the traitor’s identity.
Can Violet and Henry uncover the secrets of the past before one of them ends up as The Wolf’s next victim?

EXCERPT
“You have date tonight?” Rainer Kopecek smiled from his seat by the window, which overlooked the manicured lawn of the Happy Hill Assisted Living Facility.
Violet Lundy returned the old German’s smile as she removed the pillows from his bed. “Only if you’re available.”
He cackled with glee. “If I were only—”
“Forty years younger.” she finished his sentence before stripping the bed and tossing the sheets into her cart. “I don’t mind being alone.”
“Ah, you are much too young to give up on love. Too pretty as well.”
“You sound like a matchmaker.” She snapped a fresh sheet on the twin bed, then sprinkled a little lavender on it to help cover the strong disinfectant odor that permeated all the laundry. Of all the residents at the facility, she liked Mr. Kopecek best because of his optimism.
“Nothing wrong with that.” He waggled a gnarled finger. “I would like you settled before I meet my Maker.”
“I thought you were going to live as long as Methuselah.” She chuckled. “So I have plenty of time.”
He shrugged his shoulders. “Life, it can be cut short. You should not wait too long to find someone.”
