"Silver Moon is a highly recommended read for fans of historical wartime fiction, powerful emotive drama, and excellent atmospheric writing." --Readers' Favorite
"I am stunned by the amount of detail the author gave in this single story. On one hand, we have powerful characters... and on the other, we have a plot that demands all our attention. Jenny Knipfer pulls no punches and holds nothing back." --Readers' Favorite

“Gut. Gut, Hahn.” Luis mentally
filed away the information Rufus had acquired for him.
Rooster thought he fed Luis tidbits
from Ostermann’s headquarters for the purpose of speeding the war along. It had
taken some time for Rooster to trust Luis, but eventually he had jumped into
the plan with both feet.
Luis hoped Rooster still thought him a
German Lieutenant who passed along information to the British, but there were
moments when Rooster looked at him just so that Luis was sure he knew the
truth. He counted on the fact that Rooster didn’t much care. He was game for
whatever shortened the war. Luis had convinced him that what they were doing would
help.
“Ja. If the British concentrate
on breaking through at this point,” Rooster whispered, pointing to an area on
the tunnel map he’d pilfered from the general’s HQ, “that would be best. It’s
the least watched and the closest to their own.”
Hahn had proven himself invaluable.
Luis prayed they wouldn’t get caught. Rooster would be labeled a traitor, while
he would just be caught as a spy.
Being a traitor is ten times worse, Luis determined.
He would wait for just the right time
to pass on what he knew. The map would have to be delivered in person; until
then, he had to hide it.
Where do I conceal it? He thought of the possibilities . . .
In my quarters? On my person? Any place was risky. Then an idea
popped into his head. My shoe. Yes.
“If I find anything else, I will inform
you, Lieutenant.” Rooster looked nervously over his shoulder. “I have to go.
The general sent me out to fetch some vodka.” Rooster pulled a bottle out of
his pocket. “I must not disappoint, huh?” He grinned.
“Ja. The general must have his
liquor. You are dismissed, Hahn.” Luis gave a short, crisp salute.
