Elm Grove, WI, October 26, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The German War Machine is in retreat as the Russians advance. In Warsaw, Resistance fighters rise up against their Nazi occupiers, but the Germans retaliate, ruthlessly leveling the city. American Adam Nowak has been dropped into Poland by British intelligence as an assassin and Resistance fighter. During the Warsaw Rising he meets Natalia, a covert operative who has lost everything—just as he has. Amid the Allied power struggle left by Germany’s defeat, Adam and Natalia join in a desperate hunt for the 1940 Soviet order authorizing the murders of 20,000 Polish army officers and civilians. If they can find the Katyn Order before the Russians do, they just might change the fate of Poland.

“Douglas Jacobson’s new novel, “The Katyń Order,” is possibly the first use of Katyń as background for fiction. He does it well, seamlessly weaving the “history lessons” into the narrative. Warsaw and Kraków City Maps help the reader locate the “action.” A worthy follow-up to Jacobson’s “Night of Flames: A Novel of World War II,” and a good read.” - Maureen Mroczek Morris, Cosmopolitan Review

“Jacobson follows his debut, Night of Flames, with another solid WWII thriller.” - Publisher’s Weekly – May 2012

"Compelling authenticity and evocatively rendered detail will captivate history buffs and thriller fans alike." - The Library Journal
