HEIR APPARENT

by E. L. Withers ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Magda, an aging Marchesa on a Nazi-occupied island in the Bay of Naples, living alone with her memories and a faithful servant, is asked by an even older friend to smuggle out the last survivor of an illustrious family, slaughtered by the Germans. Under the constant surveillance of the Gestapo she shows an amazing resourcefulness- as well as unsuspected stamina, is attacked- and kills in self-defense, and escapes with her charge who proves to be the ""heir apparent"" to a great mind rather than a royal family as she had thought....An intricate, elegant entertainment.
