Kasper Mützenmacher’s Cursed Hat (Book One of the Life Indigo series)
Berlin hatmaker Kasper Mützenmacher’s carefree life of fedoras, jazz, and booze comes to a screeching halt when he must use the god Hermes’ “wishing hat,” a teleportation device, to rescue his flapper girlfriend from the shadowy Klaus, a veil-wearing Nazi who brainwashes his victims until they can’t see their own faces. Klaus eventually discovers the wishing hat’s existence and steals it on Kristallnacht. But even if Kasper gets back the hat and spirits his family to America, they won’t be safe until they break the curse that Fate imposed for stealing the wishing hat from Hermes.
