Summary

Born of American expatriate parents, Julie Guilles was a pretty, sheltered rich girl growing up in Paris, a favorite of the "Ritz Bar" set. But everything changed when the Nazis rolled into the City of Lights. After three years of life underground, Julie is hiding out in New York; but she knows trouble is coming when the corpse of an acquaintance appears on her doorstep. With a host of possible dangers on her tail -- the Gestapo, the FBI, and the New York cops -- she embarks on a desperate journey to Santa Fe, New Mexico in search of her last, best hope. "The Blackbirder" is a legend among refugees, a trafficker in human souls who flies under the radar to bring people to safety across the Mexican border -- for a price. With no resources at her disposal but a smuggled diamond necklace and her own razor-sharp wits, Julie must navigate a tangle of dangers -- and take a stand in the worldwide struggle that has shattered the lives of millions.
