In masterful historical detail and breathtaking suspense, Robert Alexander carries the reader through the entire heartrending story as told through the eyes of a real but forgotten witness, The Kitchen Boy. Narrated by the sole witness to the baseme*nt execution, The Kitchen Boy is historical fiction at its best. But more than that, the accessible style and intricately woven plot with a stunning revelation at its end will keep readers guessing throughout.
