The Truth About Otis Battersby by Susan Turner
Susan Turner is the author of several books, the latest of which is The Truth About Otis Battersby, a riveting historical fiction novel set in late 1940s Europe. “This book,” Turner explains, “is the first in a series with a central character who operates in Western Europe in the inter-war period. I wanted to introduce Harry Douglas in this post-war setting when he's been through some hard times and is a bit down on his luck and rough around the edges.”
