A gossip columnist's pursuit of the truth in Nazi Germany . . .

When twenty-something Bella lands a job she doesn't really want-as the gossip columnist for Berlin's largest newspaper-she's thrust into a new, glamorous world. Then the Nazis take over, and her job turns into a lethal assignment.As the Nazis rise swiftly to power, Hitler's top aide, Josef Goebbels, ruthlessly takes control-from the information printed in gossip columns to the city's movie industry, where Goebbels earns a reputation as a rampant predator.To escape their deadly authority, Bella and her editor, Paul, flee to a brothel. There, they collect scraps of information and repackage them as gossip that weaves through wartime Berlin, sending the Nazis into an enraged search for the source. But as they fight to share truth amidst endless propaganda, Bella and Paul find out the hard way that the truth can be deadly, too.Romantic, propulsive, and relentlessly vivid, The Gossip Columnist is a sharp, cinematic novel that's as shocking as gossip and as real as history.
