Award-Winning Historical Thriller “Between These Walls” Unravels Decades of Secrets from WWII to the Mossad
A mysterious package from West Berlin. A hidden past spanning two World Wars. And one man’s dangerous quest for the truth. “Between These Walls,” the critically acclaimed debut novel by Michael Newman, delivers a gripping historical thriller that weaves together espionage, family secrets, and the profound costs of confronting history.
Winner of the 2020 NYC Big Book Award (Distinguished Favorite in Historical Fiction) and praised by the Whistler Independent Book Awards as “Good, Unique and Worthwhile,” Newman’s thoroughly researched novel takes readers on an unforgettable journey through some of the 20th century’s darkest and most turbulent moments.
THE STORY
In July 1988, New York art curator Daniel Singer receives an enigmatic envelope from West Berlin sealed with security tape and written in German. The adopted son of a WWII medical officer, Daniel has always known little about his biological parents. But this package launches him on a perilous voyage of discovery that will take him from the dying days of WWI through Hitler’s rise to power, the Holocaust, WWII, the founding of Israel, and three Middle East wars.
As Daniel searches for answers about his own identity, he unlocks the intertwined histories of three families, one American and two German, whose fates collided amid the chaos of war. His quest leads him into the shadowy world of the Mossad, Israel’s legendary intelligence agency. It forces him to confront a haunting question: Can the sins of the past ever truly be righted?
