Beneath a Veneer
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

You can hide beneath a veneer until someone knows where to look.
A family try to flee Lithuania as the Soviets invade in 1940. Only two make it onto the ferry in Riga and freedom. The cost is leaving behind their loved ones and an unborn baby.
Fifty-eight years later, Simon Callan's mother tells him her story and asks him to find out what happened to the others
.
His search leads him to learning of Stalin's repressions and then the Nazi death squads. It also leads him to a murderer, a Nazi collaborator, who took part in a massacre where Simon's grandparents were killed, and a thief, a Nazi SS officer, who stole a Swiss bank account that Simon's mother knows nothing about.
Is it possible to find and catch a killer, whose crimes took place in 1941? And, is it possible to recover the stolen money after so many years?
At the heart of this story is the grim reality that so many suffered at the time. But it also tells of a passionate determination to discover those responsible and, ultimately, to find justice despite the odds.
