Description
Up in Honey's Room by Elmore Leonard is a gripping story set during World War II. The author brings his unique blend of characterisation, dialogue and psychological insight to this lesser-explored era. A spy ring sends US war production data to Germany while providing shelter to escaped German prisoners of war. Walter Schoen, the group's leader, bears an uncanny resemblance to Heinrich Himmler. His American wife, Honey Deal, has grown tired of trying to change him and decides it's time for a divorce. Enter Carl Webster, a young marshal from the US Marshals Service, searching for an escaped prisoner. He uses Honey as a way in to meet Walter, who is suspected of hiding the POW. As their paths cross, Honey finds herself drawn to the hot-headed marshal, despite her reservations about his marriage status.
