Corridor of Darkness — Patrick W. O'Bryon

1930's Berlin is unrestrained, decadent, and torn by political and social strife. Young American reporter Ryan Lemmon intends to savor every thrilling moment and loses himself in the dark underbelly of the German capital. Then a violent death brings him face-to-face with the growing Nazi menace. As Hitler's stranglehold further grips the nation, Ryan helps an ex-lover steal intelligence which may save innumerable lives, but only should it reach the right hands in Washington. First they must escape a nightmarish pursuit by a sadistic foe and his all-powerful Gestapo. Inspired by the contemporary journals of the author's late father, Corridor of Darkness evokes the cruel heart of pre-World War II Germany, where any missed beat could be the protagonists' last.“The novel is rife with historical intrigue and captures the flavor of mid-century Europe…a keen eye for detail… An intriguing early WWII spy yarn set in a well-researched, authentic Germany.” �"Kirkus ReviewsCorridor of Darkness has received the AIA Gold Seal of Excellence, the B.R.A.G.
