"The Swiss Courier" by Tricia Goyer & Mike Yorkey

This is a GREAT action/spy novel set in WWII Switzerland and Germany that will keep you riveted!  With a few small exceptions, this book was well-written, well-researched, and an entertaining read.  There were one or two "scenes" that I felt played out a little too "quickly" (seemed rushed), but the book as a whole kept me guessing until the end (which is VERY hard to do)!

It's hard to give an accurate summary of the story without giving away any twists or details, so I'll leave you with the publisher's summary from the back of the book (which barely touches the surfaces of the depth of the story):

It is August 1944 and the Gestapo is mercilessly rounding up suspected enemies of the Third Reich after an attempt on Hitler's life. Gabi Mueller is a young woman working for the newly formed American Office of Strategic Services (forerunner to the CIA) in Switzerland. When she is asked to put herself in harm's way to safely "courier" a German scientist who is working on the atomic bomb out of enemy territory, the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

This is one book I'd love to see made into a movie!  As Bob Welch states on the back cover, this book "sizzles like a 24 episode with a World War II twist."  Definitely a must read!
