Based on true events from WWII, The Black Orchestra feels like a cinematic spy thriller. Set in 1944, it follows former German soldier turned New York priest Jonathan Strauss who’s blackmailed by the U.S. government to embark on a secret mission. Strauss discovers a plot by real-life conspirators – politicians, aristocrats, and military officers – to assassinate Adolf Hitler. As he travels through Italy, France, and Germany, he confronts the horrors of the Third Reich and faces his own dark past. The tone is intense and historical, a gripping ride through espionage and moral conflict.
Author R.J. Linteau knows how to craft suspense. This is his fourth novel – he’s written multiple thrillers and even some screenplays. Linteau spent 44 years in architecture and construction before writing, but now he lives in Marietta,
Georgia with his wife, enjoying travels around Europe and the U.S.. His fascination with history shines through: in The Black Orchestra, he skillfully blends real World War II events with fictional drama. Fans of war stories and secret missions will love how he brings this era to life.
