The fifth in the Martin Bora WWII mystery series. In May 1941, Wehrmacht
officer Bora is sent to Crete, recently occupied by the German army, and
must investigate the brutal murder of a Red Cross representative
befriended by SS-Chief Himmler. All the clues lead to a platoon of
trigger-happy German paratroopers, but is this the truth?
Bora takes to the mountains of Crete to solve the case, navigating his
way between local bandits and foreign resistance fighters. With echoes
of Claus von Stauffenberg, Bora is torn between his duty as an officer
and his integrity as a human being.
