"Despite her relatively new 'grand entrance' to the world of novels, Malcolm would and could rival the best writers and story-tellers of our generation"

~World Jewish News Agency

"A sweeping saga reminiscent of Jeffrey Archer and Susan Howatch... Silent Lies is brilliantly researched and beautifully written."
~Karen White, best-selling author of "The Memory of Water" and "Learning to Breathe"

"Silent Lies stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the most gripping and passionate tales of the last several decades."
~Curled Up With a Good Book (curledup.com)


Meet Leo Hoffman, a dashing young Hungarian with a gift for languages. Because of his talents, he is adopted by a wealthy Jewish family in Budapest, only to have his dazzling new life destroyed by World War I and its aftermath. When his attempt to rebuild his life inadvertently embroils him in an international counterfeiting scheme, Leo escapes with his lover to the decadent city of Shanghai, where he discovers that the gangsters who control the city from the shadows do not intend to let him outrun his past.

Inspired the author's family history and based on actual historical events, Silent Lies tells a sweeping, passionate tale of a glittering world that no longer exists, while addressing issues that continue to resonate for readers in the 21st century. "[A] remarkable blend of history and fiction... meant to be read again and again." ~Bookpleasures.com


The story of Leo and his family continues in the exciting sequel, Deceptive Intention. Recruited by the Allies at the beginning of WWII to help lay the foundation for the invasion of North Africa, Leo Hoffman intends to do as little spying as possible; he just wants earn his American citizenship, get to New York, and find his daughter. But while Leo dodges death in Morocco, two women from his past conspire to make sure he never gets that chance.

M.L. Malcolm vividly recaptures rarely-explored pieces of the past by blending real historical figures with fascinating fictional characters. From the Allies' early espionage efforts during World War II to Robert Kennedy's war on the Mafia twenty years later, Deceptive Intentions tells the riveting story of two families struggling with the choices that war forces them to make, and the consequences that take a generation to unfold.

"A 'page-turner' in the very best tradition of historical fiction." ~ Midwest Book Review

"A superbly crafted story, creatively capturing a slice of history with eloquence and realism." ~ In the Library Reviews
