What if your father lied about what he did in World War II? What if he was actually a war criminal? History professor Bram McCoy always believed his German father's story about being held in a concentration camp for refusing to work as an engineer for the Third Reich. He even wrote a best-selling book about it. But that story begins to unravel when he is called upon to help U.S. Justice Department Special Agent Kate Crockett solve a series of unusual murders related to war crimes in World War II. What Bram and Kate discover will make them question everything they know about the final days of the Third Reich. The key to solving the murders lies in Bram's past and his father's journals. Together, they must stop a killer before he can harness the energy of an increasingly right-wing Europe. The future is at stake, and time is not on their side.
