This powerfully suspenseful new novel from Dan Fesperman takes us
deep into the early 1940s in Switzerland and Germany as it traces
the long reach of the wartime intrigues of the White Rose student
movement, which dared to speak out against Hitler.
When Nat Turnbull, a history professor who specializes in the
German resistance, gets the news that his estranged mentor, Gordon
Wolfe, has been arrested for possession of stolen World War II
archives, he's hardly surprised that, even at the age of
eighty-four, Gordon has gotten himself in trouble. But what's in
the archives is staggering: a spymaster's trove missing since the
end of the war, one that Gordon has always claimed is full of
"secrets you can't find anywhere else . . . "live" ammunition."
Yet key documents are still missing, and Nat believes Gordon has
hidden them. The FBI agrees, and when Gordon is found dead in jail,
the Bureau dispatches Nat to track down the material, which has
also piqued the interest of several dangerous competitors. As he
follows a trail of cryptic clues left behind by Gordon, assisted by
an attractive academic with questionable motives, Nat's quest takes
him to Bern and Berlin, where his path soon crosses that of Kurt
Bauer, an aging German arms merchant still hoarding his own wartime
secrets. As their stories--and Gordon's--intersect across half a
century, long-buried exploits of deceit, devotion, and doomed
resistance begin working their way to the surface. And as the
stakes rise, so do the risks . . .
"From the Hardcover edition."
