Summary
Key documents are still missing, however, and Nat believes Gordon has hidden them. The FBI agrees, and when Gordon is then found dead in jail, the Bureau dispatches Nat to track down the material, which has also caught the interest of several dangerous competitors. Following a trail of cryptic clues left behind by Gordon, and assisted by an attractive German academic with questionable motives, Nat's quest takes him to Bern and Berlin. His path soon crosses that of Kurt Bauer, an aging German arms merchant still hoarding his own wartime secrets. As their tales - and Gordon's - intersect across half a century, long-buried exploits of deceit, devotion and doomed resistance begin working their way to the surface. As the stakes rise, so do the risks.
Here is Dan Fesperman's most thrilling, unexpected, and satisfying novel yet.

An absolute must!
This books starts of a little slow but after a few minutes you are hooked and just want to listen and listen and listen. The narration is superb and I now intend to listen to other books by this narrator. I did not want this book to finish whilst at the same time needing to know what happens. I am not going to give away the plot but this is a book I would highly recommend and would give it 100 stars if such a rating was availble.

Good stuff
This was my first Dan Fesperman book. It perhaps lacks the edginess of, say, John Le Carre's best spy-thriller books, particularly in the denouement, but it is nevertheless very well written with an intriguing plot and likeable and well drawn characters; I certainly will be tempted to try the author's other books. Dick Hill' narration captures the author's tone brilliantly, his judgement of pace is perfect and he draws the characters just right - a very enjoyable audiobook.

An epic work, meticulously researched
This is a hugely ambitiously novel, taking in the White Rose resistance movement in Germany along with an analysis of how the past affects the present. Dan Fesperman never disappoints in the effort and research undertaken to support his work. The kind of novel you may need to read more than once to appreciate all the details.
