Berlin, 1938. Newly-appointed military attache Noel Macrae and his
extrovert wife Primrose arrive at the British Embassy. Prime
Minister Chamberlain is intent on placating Nazi Germany, but
Macrae is less so. Convinced Hitler can be stopped by other means
than appeasement, he soon discovers he is not the only dissenting
voice in the Embassy and finds that some senior officers in the
German military are prepared to turn against the Fuhrer. Gathering
vital intelligence, Macrae is drawn to Kitty Schmidt's Salon (a
Nazi bordello) and its enigmatic Jewish hostess Sara Sternschein-a
favourite of sadistic Gestapo boss Reinhard Heydrich. Sara is a
treasure-trove of knowledge about the Nazi hierarchy in a city of
lies, spies and secrets. Does she hold the key to thwarting Hitler
or is Macrae just being manipulated by her whilst his wife
romantically pursues his most important German military contact,
Florian Koenig? In James MacManus' absorbing new novel the author
evokes a time and place when the personal and political stakes
could not be higher and where the urge for peaceful compromise
conflicts with higher ideals and a vicious regime bent on war. As
loyalties are stretched to the limit and Europe slides towards
another war, could just one act of great courage and sacrifice
change everything?
