Lumen by Ben Pastor
Nazi occupied Poland. A German army officer investigates the murder of an abbess amid the horrors of brutal occupation.
"Lumen is a work of promise and fulfillmentA mystery, it rivets the reader until the end and beyond, with its twist of historical realities. A historical piece, it faithfully reproduces the grim canvas of war. A character study, it captures the thoughts and actions of real people, not stereotypes.A"The Fredericksburg Free Lance Star One of Pastor's many startling accomplishments here is to render this man, Bora, as simultaneously cutthroat in pursuit of Hitler's expansionist aims and consistently humane in his choices and concrete leanings within the situation that presents itself. Lumen succeeds on all levels a magnificent achievement.A" -- Christopher Noel, author of Spoils and In the Unlikely Event of a Water Landing: A Geography of Grief
