Through information gleaned from a German source in his private intelligence network, Winston Churchill alerts his goddaughter, the adventure-seeking Hearst photojournalist Mattie McGary, to a major political scandal in 1934-a conspiracy between the notoriously anti-Semitic U.S. Army's Military Intelligence Division [MID] and the SS, Hitler's Praetorian Guard, to help the Nazis formulate a sustainable rationale for the legal persecution of Germany's Jews. From Churchill, Mattie learns that the Nazis are working on new laws that strip Jews of their German citizenship and forbids them from marriage or sexual relations with Aryans. The year before, Reichsfuhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, secretly arranged for the MID to research racist laws in thirty American states that prohibit marriage or sex between whites and a wide variety of other races. Radical SS anti-Semites intend to use that legal research-known in Germany as 'The Prussian Memorandum', an actual historic document-to provide a model for their proposed treatment of the Jews. Aided by a courageous German lawyer, Hanna Raeder, wife of Admiral Erich Raeder, Chief of the German Navy since 1928, as well as her husband the New York lawyer Bourke Cockran, Jr., a former agent for MID, Mattie's efforts to document and expose the conspiracy take her from Churchill's country home in England to the corridors of power in Berlin and, along with Churchill, to the canals of Amsterdam where his German source is to provide them with conclusive proof of the conspiracy. Pursued by both Gestapo and American MID agents determined to stop them at all costs, Mattie, Hanna and Cockran race to expose the shameful secret of the Prussian Memorandum. In a chilling climax, Mattie and Hanna are arrested and taken to a Gestapo-run concentration camp where Hanna is tortured and charged with treason and Mattie is charged with espionage. Both are scheduled for show trials the next day before the notorious "People's Court" where no one has ever been acquitted and the sentence upon conviction is death by beheading. With additional historical supporting characters [in order of appearance] President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Secretary to the President Louis Howe, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, German Minister of Justice Franz Gurtner, Irish Blue Shirts leader General Eoin O'Duffy, New York attorney and Medal of Honor hero William 'Wild Bill' Donovan, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbel's wife Magda Goebbels, President of the Reichstag and Nazi Air Minister Hermann Göring, American media magnate William Randolph Hearst, Chief Judge of the Nazi People's Court Roland Freisler, Broadway investor and stage and screen star Mae West, New York mob boss Owney Madden, SD Foreign Intelligence head Walter Schellenberg, Cleveland attorney Paul Walter, Berlin Jewish journalist Bella Fromm, Harvard Law School Dean Roscoe Pound, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, and German Chancellor Adolf Hitler, The Prussian Memorandum is an authentic, action-packed historical adventure based on actual events.

In her latest adventure, The Liebold Protocol, Winston Churchill’s Scottish goddaughter, Mattie McGary, the adventure-seeking Hearst photojournalist, reluctantly returns to Nazi Germany in the summer of 1934 and once again finds herself in deadly peril in a gangster state where widespread kidnappings and ransoms by the SA and SS are sanctioned by the new Nazi government. It didn’t begin that way. At Churchill’s suggestion, Mattie initially investigates one of the best-kept secrets of the Great War—that in 1915, facilitated by a sinister German-American agent working for Henry Ford, British Empire and Imperial German officials essentially committed treason by agreeing Britain would sell raw rubber to Germany in exchange for it selling precision optical equipment to Britain. Why? To keep the war going and the profits flowing. After Mattie interviews Ford’s German-American go-between, however, agents of Scotland Yard’s Special Branch are sent by Churchill’s political opponents in the British government to rough her up and warn her she will be prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act unless she backs off the story. Left no choice, Mattie sets out for Germany to investigate the story from the German side and to interview the German nobleman who negotiated the optics for rubber deal with the British. Once In Germany, however, Mattie lands right in the middle of a potential civil war between the SA Brown Shirts of Ernst Rohm who want a true socialist ‘second revolution’ to follow Hitler’s stunning first revolution in 1933 and Adolf Hitler who believes one revolution is enough. Mattie learns that Hitler has ordered his SS to assassinate all the senior leadership of Ernst Rohm’s SA Brown Shirts as well as other political enemies on Saturday 30 June, an event known to History as ‘The Night of the Long Knives’. Mattie soon learns she is threatened from two sides and must flee Germany to save her life. Not only does the German-American working for Henry Ford want her story on the Great War optics for rubber treason killed, he wants her dead along with it. Worse, Mattie’s nemesis, the ‘Blond Beast’ of the SS, Reinhard Heydrich, is in charge of Hitler’s ‘Night of the Long Knives’ purge and he’s secretly put her name on his list of targets… The McMenamin writing teams are award-winning, and one should not expect anything different from The Liebold Protocol.

In the summer of 1929 Weimar Germany still has a secret military agreement with the USSR to develop new weapons beyond the Ural Mountains. Ultimately, both want to dismember the newly revived independent Poland, but to distract Britain from helping the Poles, the new Irish Free State is placed at risk by conspirators and arms dealers intent on fomenting an IRA coup d'état. Winston Churchill is about to travel to North America when the new Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald asks him to handle a secret assignment. The IRA intends to buy large quantities of arms in the United States and an SIS team will investigate. Churchill is to enlist American President Herbert Hoover to prevent the weapons from reaching Ireland. But Churchill has his own unofficial team gather evidence as well. Bourke Cockran Jr., a law professor and former military intelligence agent, is the son of Churchill's old Irish American mentor. Mattie McGary, Churchill's goddaughter, works for William Randolph Hearst. Attracted to each other, their tempers often clash as Cockran and Mattie follow a trail from New York to Los Angeles through Canada to discover who is funding the IRA and where the arms are assembled. But Mattie is also keeping secrets from Cockran, who has an agenda of revenge: to kill the leader of the IRA team who is responsible for the murder of his wife in the Irish Civil War. These plans interfere with foiling the arms shipment and an IRA plot to assassinate Churchill. And time is running out . . .

In this lively study of the development and transformation of voices of female offenders in nineteenth-century England, Anne Schwan analyzes a range of colorful sources, including crime broadsides, reform literature, prisoners' own writings about imprisonment and courtroom politics, and conventional literary texts, such as Adam Bede and The Moonstone. Not only does Schwan demonstrate strategies for interpreting ambivalent and often contradictory texts, she also provides a carefully historicized approach to the work of feminist recovery. Crossing class lines, genre boundaries, and gender roles in the effort to trace prisoners, authors, and female communities (imagined or real), Schwan brings new insight to what it means to locate feminist (or protofeminist) details, arguments, and politics. In this case, she tracks the emergence of a contested, and often contradictory, feminist consciousness, through the prism of nineteenth-century penal debates. The historical discussion is framed by reflections on contemporary debates about prisoner perspectives to illuminate continuities and differences. Convict Voices offers a sophisticated approach to interpretive questions of gender, genre, and discourse in the representation of female convicts and their voices and viewpoints.
