The Müller File: A German Engineer, an English Wife, and a Deadly Secret. - Softcover
Book 41 of 41: Echoes in the Lobby: Historic Hotel Mysteries of America?s Hidden Past
Synopsis
In March 1935, German aeronautical engineer Peter Müller is building aircraft for Bayerische Flugzeugwerke when Adolf Hitler's government openly announces the existence of the Luftwaffe. For Peter, the declaration transforms engineering into something far more troubling. The aircraft he has devoted his career to perfecting are no longer simply machines. They are becoming instruments of a Germany he increasingly struggles to recognize.
Peter makes a decision that will shape the rest of his life. He leaves Germany for England.
At Hatfield, he finds work in Britain's rapidly developing aircraft industry, bringing with him an engineer's precision, an immigrant's caution, and knowledge acquired inside one of Germany's most important aviation firms. England offers him professional opportunity, but acceptance comes slowly. To British officials, his abilities make him useful. His nationality makes him suspect.
Then he meets Evelyn Ashcombe.
An English publishing assistant with little interest in aircraft but an instinctive understanding of people, Evelyn sees something in the reserved German engineer that official files cannot record. Their friendship deepens as Europe moves toward war, forcing Peter to confront an increasingly difficult question: can a man choose where he belongs when governments insist that nationality determines loyalty?
By 1939, Britain and Germany are at war.
Peter has built a life in England, yet the country he has chosen cannot entirely forget the country printed on his papers. British intelligence watches him. German interests have not forgotten him. His specialized knowledge of aircraft design has become valuable to both sides, and the engineering experience that once promised him a future now places him in danger.
In 1940, fear of invasion sweeps Britain. German and Austrian nationals are classified, investigated, restricted, and, in many cases, interned as enemy aliens. Peter discovers that years of work, friendship, marriage, and demonstrated loyalty can be reduced by wartime necessity to a birthplace and a government file.
Separated from Evelyn and sent to the Isle of Man, Peter enters a world of guarded hotels, uncertain futures, and men whose individual histories have been compressed into the same dangerous label. Yet another threat is taking shape beyond the fences. Germany still understands the value of what Peter knows.
As Britain fights for survival, Peter finds himself caught between two nations: one he abandoned because of what it was becoming, and another he chose as home but which is no longer certain it can trust him.
His greatest secret is not where he came from.
It is what he knows.

About the Author
Scott Hamele was born and raised in Kansas and has called the Kansas City area home since 1991. Married for more than thirty years, he values time with his two daughters and two grandchildren. He studied engineering at the University of Kansas, where he began writing articles and newsletters for university organizations. His first published work appeared in an ASME engineering publication in 1992, followed by decades of writing in the commercial construction industry.In the 2000s, Hamele turned his research instincts toward historical fiction, developing story concepts rooted in real places and overlooked histories. That work led him to pioneer the Historic Hotel Mysteries genre, a series approach that places real hotels and estates at the center of stories where memory lingers and the past reveals itself through setting. His novels are grounded in careful research and designed to feel inseparable from the locations in which they unfold.A prolific storyteller, Hamele has authored more than four dozen works across historical fiction, historical mysteries, near-future thrillers, narrative biographies, and short fiction.https: //linktree.com/scotthamele
