Michael Chabon and his wife, Ayelet Waidman, are working on a show for HBO:
HBO is developing a drama series about a group of con men and magicians who battle Hitler and the Nazis during WWII. They use their powers of deception to outwit the Third Reich, you see.
It almost sounds like what Jonathan Strange does during wartime.
Jonathan Strange or Bitter Seeds by Ian Treglis.
Bitter Seeds is another good comp. But I actually liked Jonathan Strange.
