About Of Darkness And Light: A Soli Hansen Mystery Book 1
Product Description In this first book of a new historical mystery series, a young art historian faces a tough choice in German-occupied Norway. “Artful prose and at a pace that makes for a can't-put-down, first-class literary voyage."–Melissa Dalton-Bradford, bestselling author of Global Mom Oslo, 1944. Soli Hansen’s passion for art history is and always has been a way of life for her. While she spends her days working in an art shop, WWII is taking its toll on everyone. Apprehensive of the consequences, Soli avoids becoming entangled in the war resistance efforts. She closes her eyes in hopes the enemy will retreat and leave her beautiful country for good. But when a woman is found dead in the alley alongside the art shop and a painting from the last auction goes missing, Soli is thrown into the thickest of the fray involving both Nazi art theft and the Norwegian resistance. Once Soli finds her courage, there’s no turning back. Her personal life is turned upside-down with danger, lies, spying, and an incredible discovery. In this dual timeline novel, Heidi Eljarbo paints a vivid picture of what people are willing to do in desperate times. With unforgettable characters and rich historical details, Of Darkness and Light will keep the reader mesmerized until the last satisfying page. Perfect for fans of Kate Morton, Lucinda Riley, Katherine Neville, and Kate Mosse.

Another great read! -Linnea Shaw "When literature, with all its narrative and drama, is combined with instructive material such as history, art, science or even math, then I'm simultaneously and sublimely entertained, enthralled and edified. This combination of artistic elements converges in author, Heidi Eljarbo's, latest story of heroine, Soli Hansen." -Jana Pawlowski "Excellent plot and great research." -Randiloves2read "The overarching theme of finding (and fighting for) light in times of darkness was a great backdrop for this novel that skillfully juxtaposes good and evil like a chiaroscuro painting." -Bruce Jacobs, author "Absolutely incredible!

Interspersing love, hope, and courage, the participants are drawn together in mysterious paths." -Pauline Isaksen, author
