In the waning days of World War I, a horrific crime behind the lines
sends Lieutenant Gregor Reinhardt on a search for a killer in this
electrifying thriller from the author of The Man from Berlin.
It's the final days of the Great War and four years of grinding conflict
has warped more than one man's mind. When a secret meeting of top brass
is called, someone sets off a bomb that kills all the attendees. It
looks for sure that one of the men in Gregor Reinhardt's company is the
culprit. But since that man killed himself, the General is looking for
someone else to share the blame. Reinhardt must prove his trooper
innocent if he hopes to avoid the fate of a co-conspirator.
The search for answers leads Reinhardt deep into a potential conspiracy
populated by mutinous soldiers, a mysterious Russian nobleman, and a
pair of doctors who may be doing more than treating battlefield
injuries. The trenches are home to any number of horrors, but what if
the greatest danger is right next to you?
