Mike Bodnar is running from his past.
A Canadian veteran of the disastrous Dieppe Raid, Mike spent three brutal years in German prisoner-of-war camps before returning home to a life he no longer recognises. Drifting across Canada aboard freight trains, he hopes to leave the war behind.
Then he discovers the body of a young man beside the tracks.
Searching for identification, Mike makes a shocking discovery: the dead man is carrying the army tags of his best friend, a man he believed had survived the war.
Before Mike can uncover the truth, he and his friend Caz are kidnapped by ruthless mobsters acting on the orders of Valerie – the British woman Mike once loved and thought he had lost forever.
Forced to relive the nightmares of captivity, Mike is drawn into a deadly hunt for a hidden Nazi secret worth a fortune. As enemies close in from every side, he must decide whether Valerie is risking everything to save him – or using him for her own dangerous ambitions.
In a world where loyalty is uncertain and the past refuses to die, Mike may not live long enough to learn the truth.
The Missing Prisoner is the gripping first novel in the Mike and Valerie Bodnar Mysteries, available at Amazon and other online bookstores.
