Buzz is already building for the eagerly anticipated sequel, A Night of Long Knives

“A race-against-the-clock thriller…

Cantrell keeps the close calls and cliffhangers coming.”—Kirkus Reviews

Placeholder of  -83“Once again, Cantrell nails the prewar German landscape, although this time, with the Nazis in power, the mood has gone from Weimar decadence to tight-lipped uncertainty…the appeal here is all about atmosphere and the historical moment.”—Booklist

“With brevity and elegance, Rebecca Cantrell provides enough narrative to enable a reader who missed the first novel or who has forgotten key details to make sense of Hannah’s history and to recall the numerous characters from the first novel who make return appearances in this one.”

GreenMan Reviews

A Night of Long Knives is compelling, exciting, and entertaining reading. This is a great read for anyone who wants to disappear inside a great story. Whether you like novels set during World War II, suspense, or just a great plot line with a strong character, this book will not disappoint. Don’t miss this one.”—Popsyndicate.com

And it will be reviewed in the July/August issue of Bust magazine!
