Loner's War

Anna Henderson uses her nostalgic pen to tell a story in the gripping, terse style of classic noir writers. Small-time attorney Ridge Brenner lives quietly with his father, a German immigrant, in a cheap San Francisco boarding house. It's early 1941 and the war in Europe seems far away. That changes when a shocking event tangles Brenner in a net of conspiracy and danger. Only a teenaged girl who's disappeared has the answers, and Brenner discovers murder and espionage while tracking her down. Alongside his sweetheart Jerri Stewart, Brenner sees the classy side of San Francisco as well as the slums when the chase takes him to the big Fairmont Hotel and then an out-of-town sanitarium. Crusty Police Chief Marlowe steps in to help when Brenner gets a lead on shady characters that are planning something drastic against the United States. Then Jerri gets caught, leading to a final showdown at the docks. It's up to Brenner to rescue his girl from a murderous Nazi agent. An intriguing novelette.
