The new blockbuster thriller from Graham Hurley set against the
final stages of the Second World War. Confidant of Goebbels.
Instrument of Stalin. What's the worst that could happen? January
1945. Wherever you look on the map, the Thousand Year Reich is
shrinking. Even Goebbels has run out of lies to sweeten the
reckoning to come. An Allied victory is inevitable, but who will
reap the spoils of war? Two years ago, Werner Nehmann's war came to
an abrupt end in Stalingrad. With the city in ruins, the remains of
General Paulus' Sixth Army surrendered to the Soviets, and Nehmann
was taken captive. But now he's riding on the back of one of
Marshal Zhukov's T-34 tanks, heading home with a message for the
man who consigned him to the Stalingrad Cauldron. With the Red Army
about to fall on Berlin, Stalin fears his sometime allies are
conspiring to deny him his prize. He needs to speak to Goebbels -
and who better to broker the contact than Nehmann, Goebbels'
one-time confidant? Having swapped the ruins of Stalingrad for the
wreckage of Berlin, the influence of Goebbels for the machinations
of Stalin, and Gulag rags for a Red Army uniform, Nehmann's war has
taken a turn for the worse. The Germans have a word for it:
Katastrophe. Katastrophe is part of the SPOILS OF WAR Collection, a
thrilling, beguiling blend of fact and fiction born of some of the
most tragic, suspenseful, and action-packed events of World War II.
From the mind of highly acclaimed thriller author GRAHAM HURLEY,
