The Enigma Affair By Charlie Lovett
When a librarian and a professional assassin team up to solve a seventy-5ve-year-old Nazi mystery, they just might change the world. When small-town librarian Patton Harcourt comes under 9re one morning while making pro9teroles, she has no choice but to trust the mysterious assassin, Nemo, who shows up in her kitchen. Fleeing a pair of German thugs, the two form an unlikely alliance as they try to decipher a seventy-9ve-year-old message encoded by Nazis on an Enigma machine. Traveling to Bletchley Park in England, they enlist the aid of Patton’s old :ame, Ruthie Drinkwater, an expert on Enigma. The trio soon 9nds themselves on the run, pursued by both the police and Ingrid Weiss, a white supremacist trying to unlock the secret of Heinrich Himmler’s research into alchemy. If Patton, Nemo, and their cohorts can survive a host of dangers—from trained killers to explosions to imprisonment—they might be able to prevent Weiss from acquiring untold wealth to promote her racist agenda.
