Taut and tense, Stephanie Landsem’s superbly plotted thriller is a bold, chilling, and heart-racing look—through a young widow’s eyes—at fascist hypocrisy and peril in America’s 1933 “Tinseltown.” A page-turning tale, it’s equal parts genuine danger, passionate bravery, and fearless truth. Offering life lessons we must never forget, it’s a daring and inspiring triumph. – Patricia Raybon, award-winning author of All That Is Secret and I Told the Mountain to Move.

Tense and thought-provoking in equal measure. Code Name Edelweiss brings to life the glamour of 1930s Hollywood – and the grit of the Depression. Stephanie Landsem presents a harrowing look at the real-life Nazi organizations in Los Angeles before World War II, the racism lurking behind the friendliest faces, and the honest temptation to give in to that racism when times are tough – all compassionately shown through compelling characters. An outstanding novel with a thriller of an ending!

A suspenseful tale of Nazis in Hollywood on the brink of WWII, Code Name Edelweiss is well-researched into the nuanced ideology that sought to strike against the goodness of humanity during a time of fear and hatred. A story chilling yet brave against the struggles of adversity, readers will be challenged to ask themselves if not me, then who?
