"A sophisticated Sherlock Holmes-like story illumines a dangerous time in European history with exquisite, genuine detail." - Foreword Reviews

It is August 1945 in Wiesbaden, Germany. With the country in ruins, Anna Klein, displaced and separated from her beloved husband, struggles to support herself and her six-year-old daughter. As a typist at the Collecting Point for the US Army's Monuments Men she barely has her head above water. When the easy-going American Captain Henry Cooper recruits her as his translator, they stumble on a mysterious stash of art, and Anna finds she has a bigger gift for sleuthing than for typing. And Cooper's penchant for breaking the rules provides an enticing taste of a newfound freedom that might change the future she thought she had planned.

Inspired in part by family history, The Roses Underneath tells a story of loss and unexpected redemption. For readers of The Nightingale and The Art Thief looking for a fresh perspective on World War II and its aftermath.
