When German sniper Dieter Rohde’s older brother is unjustly shot for desertion by the SS, he will stop at nothing to win the Iron Cross medal and redeem his family’s name by targeting as many Allied troops as possible. The German sniper’s efforts bring him into direct confrontation with Caje Cole. As the final pitched battle for France takes place around them at the Falaise Pocket, these two snipers declare war on each other.
Two squads — one American unit, one German — find themselves in a small French village with a bridge across that river. Both sides want possession of the ancient bridge across the Moselle, and the result will be an epic showdown that pits general against general, and sniper against sniper.
As German forces launch a massive surprise attack through the frozen Ardennes Forest, Caje Cole and Kurt Von Stenger find themselves aiming for a rematch. Having been in each other’s crosshairs before, they fight a final duel during Germany’s desperate attempt to turn the tide of war in what will come to be known as the Battle of the Bulge.

"Anyone who has fixed up an old house or who loves old houses will find reading this mystery set on Maryland's Eastern Shore much more enjoyable than actually having to patch plaster walls and repair old windows themselves. This book jazzes up old house lore with a fresh coat of small-town history and mystery."
— Tamar Myers, bestselling author of the Den of Antiquity and Pennsylvania Dutch mysteries, on The House That Went Down with the Ship
“David Healey peoples his novel with fully fleshed characters, putting them in a setting on Maryland’s Eastern Shore you just know has to be real. Along the way you learn a lot about the work that goes into renovating an old house. He does all this with an easy writing style and sly touches of wry humor.”
— Joe Terrell, author of the Harrison Weaver mysteries, on The House That Went Down with the Ship

"To the list of potentially fatal risks at the beach — such as riptides, lighting and sunstroke — add being kidnapped for your kidneys. That's the premise of Beach Bodies, the first comic thriller and 13th book by David Healey… The quiet of the marshes, the behavior of beach cops (‘What do you do, arrest people for wearing sneakers with dress socks?’) and the delicate nesting habits of plovers also matter."
