Frequently appearing on local TV, he is well known for his actions in Nazi-occupied Denmark during World War II -- most consider him a hero. Britta Stein, however, does not. The ninety-year-old Chicago woman levels public accusations against Henryks by spray-painting "Coward," "Traitor," "Collaborator," and "War Criminal" on the walls of his restaurant. Mrs. Stein is ultimately taken into custody and charged with criminal defacement of property. She also becomes the target of a bitter lawsuit filed by Henryks and his son, accusing her of defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Attorney Catherine Lockhart, though hesitant at first, agrees to take up Mrs. Stein's defense. With the help of her investigator husband, Liam Taggart, Lockhart must reach back into wartime Denmark and locate evidence that proves Mrs. Stein's innocence. 650 0 $a Restaurateurs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women lawyers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Private investigators $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jews $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Legal fiction (Literature) $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Balson, Ronald H.. $t Liam Taggart and Catherine Lockhart series ; $v 6. 941 $a 1 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20230802013240.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9106D0DE30FC11EEBC3B3D423BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
