A propulsive, never-before-told story of one family’s shocking involvement as Nazi spies during WWII and the pivotal role they played in the bombing of Pearl Harbor.It began with a letter. A screenwriter was asking about a story-her story. Your family. World War II. Nazi spies. Christine Kuehn was shocked and confused. But when she confronted her seventy-year-old father, Eberhard, asking what this could possibly be about, he didn’t deny it. He stalled, deflected, and finally wept. He had known this day would come.Berlin, the 1930s. The Kuehns were a prominent family, but they saw the rise of the Third Reich as a necessary evil to escape their own financial ruin. When the daughter of the family, Eberhard’s sister Ruth, met Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels at a party, the two began a torrid affair. But Ruth harbored a secret that could destroy them all: she was half-Jewish.When Goebbels discovered the truth, the Kuehns should have been doomed. Instead, he offered them a chilling deal. To save their lives, the entire family was sent half a world away to Hawaii.From their home just miles from the US naval base, Ruth and her parents established an intricate espionage ring, shielding young Eberhard from the truth. Under the tropical sun, they passed vital secrets to the Japanese-intelligence that would pave the way for the devastating attack on December 7, 1941.Weaving together Christine’s modern-day discovery of her family’s dark legacy with the untold history of espionage in Germany, Japan, and Hawaii, A Family of Spies at Pearl Harbor is a fast-paced historical thriller that rewrites the narrative of the Day of Infamy.
