The inevitable telephone gave its harsh ring in the hall. "For me, I expect," Stevens said quietly. There was a new tension in the room as he left. The faces were openly anxious now. The smiles and friendly talk of the last hours seemed very far away.
When the American came back he was grim. "Got to leave now. Emergency."
The man whose shoulders were bent over the radio suddenly stiffened. He held up one hand. His head was thrown back, his eyes were white circles. The announcer's voice cut through the sudden silence of the room.
"Less than an hour ago German planes bombed Polish territory. Without any declaration of war..."

Awesome book about an American girl who gets caught up in Poland during the German takeover and how she is believed to be a spy. I guess you could call this a "thriller" since how she gets out of Poland is extremely exciting. This is also a romantic story.
