As the Nazi war machine is pushed back across Europe, defeat has
become inevitable. But there are those who seek to continue the fight
beyond the battlefield.
German intelligence officer Captain Gregor Reinhardt has just been
reassigned to the Feldjaegerkorps--a new branch of the military police
with far-reaching powers. His position separates him from the friends
and allies he has made in the last two years, including a circle of
fellow dissenting Germans who formed a rough resistance cell against the
Nazis. And he needs them now more than ever.
While retreating through Yugoslavia with the rest of the army, Reinhardt
witnesses a massacre of civilians by the dreaded Ustaše--only to
discover there is more to the incident than anyone believes. When five
mutilated bodies turn up, Reinhardt knows the stakes are growing more
important--and more dangerous.
As his investigation begins to draw the attention of those in power,
Reinhardt's friends and associates are made to suffer. But as he
desperately tries to uncover the truth, his own past with the Ustaše
threatens his efforts. Because when it comes to death and betrayal, some
people have long memories. And they remember Reinhardt all too well.
And now, Reinhardt will have to fight them once more.
