His name was Lonnie Siegel, but he was known by others.

Lonnie was born into an aristocratic German family and orphaned during an allied bombing raid over Dresden. Shuttled from one caretaker to the next, he was ultimately taken in by an elderly first-generation immigrant family-a family that wanted nothing more than to be left alone. But, life in America in the 20th century would not allow it. Resultant tragedy dictated that Lonnie would soon embark upon a path of retribution and revenge.

Lonnie believed that whatever action he was to take, he would take it alone. But seemingly out of nowhere, assistance was offered from a clandestine spy group. Unbeknownst to him, it shared his need to hold accountable those who deprived Lonnie of the life he knew.

Would Lonnie be willing to accept the assistance of those he had never met? Was he willing to be manipulated by the agency's senior operative, acting as a puppet master and dictating his every move?

Sanctioned is about accountability-about refusing to turn the other cheek when confronted by antisemitism and racism. It's a tale to be enjoyed by anyone who relishes a good revenge novel.
