Book: IN THE SHADOW OF LIES – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K7WYTSU/
Book Blurb: Richmond, California. World War II. Marine Lieutenant Oliver Wright comes home from the war in the Pacific injured and afraid his career as a homicide detective is over. But when an Italian Prisoner of War is murdered the night the Port Chicago Mutiny verdicts are announced, and black soldiers are suspected of the crime, the Army asks Oliver to find out the truth.
He and his canine partner Harley join forces with an Italian POW captain and with a black MP embittered by a segregated military. During their investigation, these unlikely allies expose layers of deceit and violence that stretch back to World War I and uncover a common thread that connects the murder to earlier crimes.
In the Shadow of Lies reveals the darkness and turmoil of the Bay Area during World War II, while celebrating the spirit of the everyday people who made up the home front. Its intriguing characters will resonate with the reader long after its deftly intertwined mysteries are solved.

Mary, I don’t know much about the Bay Area but my mother was raised in California around, Oakland and Hayward areas. She worked at an air base and met my father who was in the Navy through mutual friends during World War II. My father suffered harm in the segregated navy that manifested itself in his drinking and nightmares. I wonder if your story is part of his as well? Congratulations!

It was important to me to tell part of the story of the horrible betrayal of black men (and women) who volunteered for the Armed Services and then found themselves in segregated companies that were used for support rather than fighting. We now know more about what life was like for them, and more importantly, more about how bravely they fought when they were allowed to.

Mary, you told the story from what you are familiar with. I’ll bet there are many aspects to it. A lot of spinoff tales. Thank you for tackling this topic.
