Freya's Child

Freya's Child

The supernatural power of ancient Nordic gods is at work behind the rise of Nazism. So believes Supreme SS commander HEINRICH HIMMLER. Young ALBERT FREITAG and his wife TILLIE are forced to wrestle with this possibility as they face danger, temptation and intrigue.

Freya’s Child begins in September of 1939. The Nazis have overrun Poland. France, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have declared war, but the U.S. remains neutral. Nordic High Priestess HULDA SCHWARZ  secretly arrives in Minnesota to recover a recently discovered, but very ancient runestone. Schwarz believes the goddess Freya and the other Nordic gods are revealing through the runestone that they are guiding and blessing the rise of the Aryan race and the Nazi Third Reich. 

Shortly after Schwarz arrives, deputy sheriff Albert Freitag is led to her through a bizarre twist of events. The Nazi agent becomes convinced that the goddess Freya desires to make Albert and Tillie's newborn daughter her avatar. Thus she will lead the Nazis to world domination, in fulfillment of the runestone’s ancient prophecy. Albert’s Christian beliefs and his love for his wife and daughter are sorely tested by mysterious visions, dreams and the apparently supernatural power of the seductive pagan priestess and her gods.

Will she find a way to escape to Nazi Germany with the Freitags’ newborn daughter?

Freya's Child is the third in The Spiral Bridge Mystery Series. A sequel is anticipated.
