Mystic Island

Plot

"Suppose that in early 1945, President Roosevelt penned a personal, clandestine letter to Adolph Hitler. What could such a letter possibly say? Captain Joseph O'Connor, U.S. Army, knows of such a letter and he also knows where it is. There's only one problem: as the result of massive brain trauma, the captain has been silent for over fifty years. Until now. Armed with information about the letter, Nikki O'Connor, the captain's granddaughter, becomes obsessed with finding it. But once the secret leaks out, Nikki is forced to compete with others in the search including a U.S. senator on the campaign trail to the White House. Should the letter be made public, it would shipwreck the senator's campaign. And somewhere in an old German POW camp that now lies buried under tons of landfill in a campground on the New England coast is the letter. It has become the Holy Grail."--Publisher's description
