The Violin Case

In 1920 Mabel Hitchman's Aunt Iona and cousin Douglas migrate to South Dakota from Germany. Unbeknownst to Mabel Iona is a world-class forger and Mabel is sent away for five years to keep her innocent of the family business. In 1938 a changed Mabel carries forged papers in her violin case to Vienna Austria. Her job is to deliver the documents to three Jews and one political enemy trying to escape the Nazi regime. As she evades a marauding death squad she learns that one of the men she believed safe remains in the Vienna ghetto so she forms a plan that could get people killed. Smuggling the documents into Austria was easy; getting back to South Dakota could cost her everything.
