A woman must untangle a dark enigma that dates back to World War II in
order to find her kidnapped son in this riveting international thriller
from Peter Abrahams, aka Spencer Quinn, author of the Chet and Bernie
Mysteries.
Rachel Monette arrives home to a scene of unspeakable violence: Her
French-born husband, Dan, is dead--the victim of a savage stabbing--and
her five-year-old son is missing. A neighbor claims she saw a rabbi
taking Adam away. But there are no synagogues in Williamstown. The only
clue is a letter Rachel finds in Dan's safety deposit box. Written in
1942, it's about the reassignment of three German soldiers to a place
called Camp Siegfried in the supposedly unoccupied western part of North
Africa. Convinced that the murder and abduction are related to a book
Dan recently completed about German-occupied countries during World War
II, Rachel travels to North Africa and then on to Israel, where a mass
murderer hiding in plain sight is determined to keep the horrors of the
past buried forever.
