Face of the Enemy

fullDescription

In December 1941, America is reeling from the brutal attack on Pearl Harbor. Both patriotism and paranoia grip New York as the city frantically mobilizes for war. Nurse Louise Hunter is outraged when the FBI, in a midnight sweep of prominent Japanese residents, storms in to arrest her patient's wife. The desperately ill Professor Oakley is married to artist Masako Fumi. The nurse vows to help the professor free Masako. But when the murdered body of Masako's art dealer is discovered in the gallery where he'd been closing down her controversial show, Masako's troubles multiply. Homicide detective Michael McKenna doubts her guilt, but an ambitious government man schemes to lever the homicide and ensuing espionage accusations into a political cause célèbre.

Struggling to focus on one man's murder while America plunges into a worldwide war, Louise and McKenna defy both racism and ham-fisted government agents in order to expose the real killer.

     July 16, 2012
     Set mostly in December 1941, this disappointing first in a new series from Dobson (Death Without Tenure) and Myers (Her Deadly Mischief) focuses on a group of young women living at a Brooklyn boarding house. Nurse Louise Hunter has her eyes opened to the era’s rampant bigotry when the artist Masako Fumi Oakley, the Japanese-born wife of one of her patients, is interned by the FBI on Ellis Island soon after the Pearl Harbor attack. Masako’s situation becomes more dire after the murder of her art dealer places her under suspicion. Intent on preventing wartime passions from leading to an innocent woman’s conviction, Louise turns for help to her housemate Cabby Ward, an ambitious reporter, and an unusually open-minded cop, Lt. Michael McKenna. Time capsule references (movies, radio, clothing, etc.) do little to compensate for stereotypical characters and an overwrought plot. Agent: Damaris Rowland.
