Back Cover

Once an idealistic lawyer, Tom Byrne will work for anyone now, if the money's right. An official at the United Nations needs him to placate the family of a harmless old man mistaken for a suicide bomber and shot to death by UN Security. But Byrne soon discovers this victim was not quite as innocent as he appeared to be. Together with the dead man's daughter, Byrne uncovers the existence of a clandestine brotherhood responsible for hundreds of unexplained deaths worldwide. Now Tom is a marked man--a target of assassins who will destroy him for what he's learned--as he races to unearth a mystery buried for more than six decades . . . the last great secret of World War II.

Review

"The story, in part inspired by an actual conspiracy, has the tempo of an Indiana Jones movie mixed with the sensibilities of a history book." -- USA Today"By alternating between the past and the present, Bourne has crafted a dark and intensely gripping thriller that vividly captures the emotional maelstrom and physical destruction of World War II Europe. His latest will stay with readers long after they have closed the book." -- Library Journal (starred review)"Bourne brings some lesser-known history into focus here, integrating brutal descriptions of Nazi terror into his modern-day thriller. . . . His prose is sharp and clear, especially when he's dealing with history." -- Booklist
