About this ebook

A gripping historical thriller set in 1930s Munich, Prisoner of Night and Fog is the evocative story of an ordinary girl faced with an extraordinary choice in Hitler's Germany. Fans of Code Name Verity will love this novel full of romance, danger, and intrigue!

Gretchen Müller grew up in the National Socialist Party under the wing of her uncle Dolf—who has kept her family cherished and protected from that side of society ever since her father sacrificed his life for Dolf's years ago. Dolf is none other than Adolf Hitler. And Gretchen follows his every command.

When she meets a fearless and handsome young Jewish reporter named Daniel Cohen, who claims that her father was actually murdered by an unknown comrade, Gretchen doesn't know what to believe. She soon discovers that beyond her sheltered view lies a world full of shadowy secrets and disturbing violence.

As Gretchen's investigations lead her to question the motives and loyalties of her dearest friends and her closest family, she must determine her own allegiances—even if her choices could get her and Daniel killed.


  • Forbidden Romance: She is the treasured niece of Adolf Hitler. He is a Jewish reporter trying to expose him. For Gretchen and Daniel, falling in love isn't just dangerous—it could be a death sentence.
  • Secrets and Lies: Gretchen's father was hailed as a Nazi martyr, but a handsome reporter claims he was murdered. To find the truth, she must question her family, her friends, and the one man she's always trusted: her Uncle Dolf.
  • Hitler's Inner Circle: Raised as the Führer's favorite, Gretchen has only ever known privilege and protection. But a shocking discovery forces her to see the terrifying reality hidden behind the Party's promises.
  • Atmospheric Historical Setting: Step into the smoky beer halls and darkening streets of 1930s Munich, where the rise of the Nazi party casts a shadow of fear, suspicion, and violence over the entire city.

About the author

Anne Blankman is the acclaimed author of Prisoner of Night and Fog, which received a starred review and a Flying Start from Publishers Weekly. When Anne was twelve, she read Anne Frank's diary and has been haunted by World War II ever since. The idea for Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke came to her after she read about a real-life unsolved street assassination from January 1933, which was the inspiration for Monika Junge's murder. To research this book, she studied a wide range of sources, including biographies, memoirs, social histories, psychological profiles, old maps, photographs, and video footage.

Anne lives in southeastern Virginia with her husband, Mike, her young daughter, Kirsten, and, of course, lots and lots of books.
