'a gripping World War 2 story told from the perspective of a Berlin family. A compelling tale in the style of Robert Harris'

BERLIN 1945: Young Austrian doctor Doro Edelmann must decide between loyalty to her family or survival. Ordered on a mission to Poland to secure information on the Führer's drug addiction, she is betrayed and forced to flee the advancing Russians and the horrors of the evacuation of the east.

The growing realisation that she has been supporting a bankrupt regime forces her to confront her past and the true brutality of the regime that has moulded her. Returning to Berlin as the city falls she is compelled by loyalty to her father commit a last terrible crime.

An immersive thriller set against of the tense historical backdrop of the last months of Germany under Hitler and the flight of senior Nazis to South America, this is the story of the conflict between duty and love of one young Austrian woman raised under the Nazi regime who finds herself part of the final solution.

For many the Second World War did not end in 1945. Concentration camps continued to be used to house Jews unable to return to their former homes. Eleven million Germans were forced to flee eastern Europe in one of the largest ever movements of populations. Former Nazis were hastily rehabilitated and employed by Russia and America as they divided the spoils of their victory over the Reich. Doro must journey through this chaotic landscape to try to find redemption.
