Via Berlin

"Via Berlin" by Crittenden Marriott is a story set in the early 1900s about Walter Topham, a good-looking naval officer, who gets a secret mission from the Secretary of State. He must take a hidden message to a guy named Mr. Rutile in Berlin, as things get tense before World War I. Walter faces tricky situations, connects with people, and sees how complicated making deals between countries can be. He meets the lovely Senorita Elsa Ferreira, causing him to pause and ponder his past relationship with Lillian Byrd. His mission turns into something more than just a job, testing his skills and his feelings as he deals with romance and danger.
