Ten Years Gone

by Jonathan Dunsky

Private investigator Adam Lapid is a former detective with the Hungarian police and a decorated soldier who served in the Negev Desert during Israel's War of Independence.

He is also a survivor of Auschwitz, struggling to survive post-war life in Tel Aviv. 

His nights are riddled with nightmares; his days haunted by ghosts; his soul heavy with losses and experiences he cannot share.

When a small, faded, thin woman -- Henrietta Ackerland -- asks for his help finding her son in July 1949, Lapid listens with a sinking heart. He feels, as vividly as he feels the scorching July heat, that this is a futile mission that will end in heart-break.

The Far Side of the Sky

by Daniel Kalla 

From 1938 to the early 1940s, nearly 17,000 German and Austrian Jews fled to Shanghai, China. Until August 1938, no visas were required to enter Shanghai. Proof of ship’s passage out of Germany was enough to escape – even from a concentration camp. 

Author Daniel Kalla has set his historical novel, The Far Side of the Sky, in this extraordinary time and place. The book is the first of a trilogy that includes Rising Sun, Falling Shadow and Nightfall over Shanghai.
