The astonishing story of Dr. Josephine Janina Mehlberg-a Jewish mathematician who saved thousands of lives in Nazi-occupied Poland by masquerading as a Polish aristocrat-drawing on Mehlberg’s own unpublished memoir. World War II and the Holocaust have given rise to many stories of resistance and rescue, but The Counterfeit Countess is unique. It tells the remarkable, unknown story of "Countess Janina Suchodolska," a Jewish woman who rescued more than 10,000 Poles imprisoned by Poland’s Nazi occupiers. Mehlberg operated in Lublin, Poland, headquarters of Aktion Reinhard, the SS operation that murdered 1.7 million Jews in occupied Poland. Using the identity papers of a Polish aristocrat, she worked as a welfare official while also serving in the Polish resistance.

"No one but Larry Janifer could have dreamed up a puzzle as intricate, a mystery as baffling, or a McGuffin as gloriously twisted as those contained in The Counterfeit Heinlein. Professional Survivor Gerald Knave, the future’s most civilized man, finds he must compete with the man who knows everything that can possibly be known, and the girl who knows everything else, to solve a crime that all agree makes absolutely no sense…while dodging gunfire from someone who seems to think it does. Robert A. Heinlein would have loved this book. In fact, maybe he wrote it, and the damn thing is actually a counterfeit Janifer. Whoever’s responsible is ingenious, elegant, learned, concise, witty and wise-you decide." -Spider Robinson
