Lapwing

Lapwing by James Krouse

Almost a decade after the end of WWII, Jim Foster returns to the Azores to uncover the truth behind a murder that took place there during the war. Driven by a desire to save the only man to survive the war under his command, Foster navigates a fractured post-war landscape where politics and alliances constantly shift during NATO’s formation and the rising tide of a new kind of war. Along the way, he reignites passions for the woman he thought he lost and finds friendship in a fellow veteran struggling with his own dark past.

Inspired by true events, Lapwing explores the limits of loyalty, the pursuit of redemption, and the quest to find personal peace in the scars of the past. Blending wartime suspense, psychological depth, and passionate romance, Lapwing delves into the struggles of men and women bound by loyalty, haunted by loss, and searching for answers in an increasingly complicated world.
