The results are banishment from home and a violent argument with her lover that leaves her bleeding and abandoned in front of a forbidding limestone house.

STALAG SUNFLOWER!
In 1943 Heinrich “Henry” Rohling was a German POW in a Midwest internment camp. Fifty years later, he journeys to a reunion for Camp Conrad veterans. This should be a time of brotherhood and rejoicing—and Rohling meets again the farmer’s daughter he fell in love with so long ago. But the elderly Berliner has his own agenda to fulfill. He holds a letter that proves a fellow comrade was murdered by the National Socialists who ran the camp behind the barbwire.
But things are amiss. With each passing hour, Henry becomes convinced that Brian Novak’s killer is still alive—and at the reunion. When another veteran dies from an apparent accident, Henry is convinced he will be the next to fall. Will Henry find the killer before it is too late? Will he get a second chance to renew his first love? Or will the killer find him first?
The climax will bring the house down.
About Me
I grew up in a small Kansas town where the biggest yearly event wasn’t football but the annual wheat harvest during mid-June. For days you’d see huge trucks with tractors and folded-up combines mounted on long flat-beds roaring up and down Main Street. For a couple of weeks custom cutters harvested fields of wheat and soon move on to another town. It was always interesting to watch as a kid. I remember as a kid playing around in the back of a big wheat truck while waiting for the combine to dump a load of grain. Then it was off to the mill to empty the wheat. It was so cool to be in the cab and feel the front end of the truck raise so all the grain fell out.
