White Heights - Martin J. Frid

November 1989. The Berlin Wall is falling, the Cold War is ending-and in a quiet apartment in southern Sweden, retired fighter pilot Rolf Hansson is listening to history unfold on the radio. But Rolf has a mystery closer to home.

His wife, Ulla, has disappeared.

While the world celebrates the collapse of an empire, Rolf sits alone with his memories and an old Facit typewriter, trying to understand the past. Once, he flew Sweden's most advanced fighter jet-the sleek Saab Draken, racing low over forests and the Baltic Sea in secret missions balanced dangerously between NATO and the Soviet Union. Now, his battles are quieter: long winter nights, half-forgotten dreams, and the unanswered question of who his wife really is.

Against a backdrop of spycraft, fighter jets, and the final days of the Cold War, this gripping novel explores love, loyalty, and the hidden forces that shape history.
