This powerfully suspenseful new book from Dan Fesperman can take us deep in to the early on 1940s in Switzerland and Germany as it traces the long reach of the wartime intrigues of the White Rose scholar movements, which dared to speak out against Hitler.
When Nat Turnbull, a brief history professor who is experienced in the German level of resistance, gets the news that his estranged coach, Gordon Wolfe, has been arrested for possession of taken World Conflict II archives, he’s scarcely astonished that, even at age eighty-four, Gordon has received himself in trouble. But what’s in the archives is staggering: a spymaster’s trove lacking since the end of the warfare, one which Gordon has always claimed is full of “secrets you can’t find anywhere else . . . live ammunition.”
Yet key documents are still lacking, and Nat thinks Gordon has concealed them. The FBI agrees, so when Gordon is available dead in prison, the Bureau dispatches Nat to locate the material, which includes also piqued the interest of several dangerous challengers. As he comes after a path of cryptic hints left behind by Gordon, aided by a stylish academic with questionable motives, Nat’s pursuit can take him to Bern and Berlin, where his path soon crosses that of Kurt Bauer, an ageing German arms merchant still hoarding his own wartime secrets. As their reviews—and Gordon’s—intersect across half of a hundred years, long-buried exploits of deceit, devotion, and doomed level of resistance start working their way to the surface. And as the stakes climb, so do the risks . . .
