Stop by to say hello to Book Stall friend Libby Fischer Hellmann and pick up a copy of her newest historical thriller, The Incidental Spy, set in the early years of the Manhattan Project. It's the story of a young woman forced
to flee Nazi Germany in 1935 for Chicago, where she eventually finds a
new life as a secretary in the Physics Department of the University of
Chicago. She meets and marries another German refugee scientist and has a
child. Then tragedy strikes, and Lena is forced to spy on the nuclear
fission experiments at the university.
