Alex's new novel, "The Intrigues of Jennie Lee" explores the febrile history of 1930s Britain through the experiences--personal and political of a young woman elected to parliament at the age of 24--five years too young even to vote for herself. It takes a real woman and slightly twists her life into a world changing thriller. Alex's first novel, "The Girl From Krakow," explores how a young woman and her lover navigate the dangerous thirties, the firestorm of war in Europe, and how they make sense of their survival. His second novel, "Autumn in Oxford" is a murder mystery/spy thriller set in Britain in the 1950s that takes the reader back to New York in the '30s, the American south, France and Germany during the war, through cold war America to post-austerity England.
