BOOK DESCRIPTION
As World War I intensifies in Europe, a mysterious stranger washes ashore on a remote Caribbean island. Abigail Maduro, an orphan with little hope for the future, stumbles upon Erich Seibold who asks her for help. Defying convention and despite the danger involved, Abigail shelters the handsome, erudite foreigner, and an unusual friendship blossoms between the two unlikely allies. In time, Abigail discovers the truth, that Erich is really a deserter from a German U-boat. Although Erich insists that he deserted to avoid sinking any more passenger vessels, Abigail is wary about his true intentions in St. Thomas, a strategically-located island in the Danish West Indies that is the center of an unprecedented $25 million transfer to the United States. An unexpected twist of fate brings Erich's identity to the attention of the island's German Consul, Lothar Langsdorff, who blackmails Erich into serving the Fatherland. Langsdorff forces Erich to join his clandestine ship surveillance and supply organization by threatening to expose his desertion to his superiors in Berlin. Finally, in a desperate attempt to thwart the upcoming transfer of the islands and pave the way for a German invasion, Langsdorff orders Erich to shoot the governor to make it look like an uprising. Overnight, Erich becomes a wanted German spy. When he is apprehended and thrown into Fort Christian, Abigail must act quickly to save his life or risk losing him forever. But, as long as Langsdorff and his men are still on the loose, Abigail and Erich can never truly be free. A lively cast of characters, including colorful West Indian characters, German spy characters, Old World Danish characters, a witty Irish sailor and a headstrong and resourceful heroine will keep you at the edge of your seat. Transfer Day is a celebration of friendship, loyalty, second chances, and the power of the individual to change the world.
