The Glass Button

A hit-and-run on the gritty streets of 1940s New York City seems like a simple accident. But for Detective Wil Bartrum, the seemingly ordinary case finds him thrust into a web of espionage, FBI cover-ups, and a sinister Nazi plot that threatens the lives of countless innocents. When an unidentified man is struck down by a taxi, Detective Bartrum is the unfortunate policeman assigned to the investigation. But when the body disappears from the morgue, leaving behind only a polished glass button, Bartrum’s instincts tell him that there is more to the case than originally suspected. And, as the detective digs deeper, he uncovers a network of mysterious glass buttons scattered across the city. Plunged into a high-stakes game of espionage and murder, each step reveals a deeper layer of danger. Now thrown into a world of wartime intrigue, doubts plague the detective as he wonders if he’s the man for the job.
