Description
In wartime Berlin, gifted detective Georg Heuser joins the Murder Squad to track a ruthless killer stalking women on the city’s trains. Nearly two decades later, prosecutor Paula Siebert confronts Heuser again—this time as the leader of a Nazi killing unit accused of atrocities on the Eastern Front. Moving between a tense criminal investigation and the aftermath of the Holocaust, the novel explores how idealism can be corrupted by power, obedience, and violence. Based on a disturbing true story, it is a gripping historical thriller and a sobering examination of guilt, moral responsibility, and the human capacity for evil.
