Post-war darkness may be the darkest of them all--Nazi-hunters reach
deep into 1979 San Francisco.
When a German businesswoman in 1979 San Francisco hires ex-con PI
Colleen Hayes to find a missing relative, supposedly in town to visit,
she thinks it's a simple job. But she soon discovers that the "nephew"
is linked to an international vigilante group hunting down ex-Nazis.
Then the body of a mysterious woman turns up on San Francisco's
Municipal Railway, mirroring a murder committed the week before in
Buenos Aires where the "nephew" had just been.
Colleen's search uncovers a World War II banknote and the 1942 SS ID of
a German officer long thought dead. When Colleen fails to heed warnings
to stop her investigation, her pregnant daughter is attacked.
The so-called nephew is nowhere to be found. The German businesswoman
has fled town. Colleen's search leads her to Italy where the infamous
Vatican Ratlines helped escaped ex-Nazis forge new identities around the
globe. Deep in the Italian Alps, she uncovers a secret project hatched
in a concentration camp. Colleen has no choice but to push ahead if the
killing is to stop and justice prevail.
Perfect for fans of Steve Berry and Harlan Coben.
