Shipman's intense, fast-paced historical novel follows the harrowing search for a fugitive Nazi scientist across post-war Europe. Berlin, 1948: World War II may be over, but a new era of conflict has begun. The Russians have cut off all access to the western part of Berlin in an attempt to seize it from the Allies. The thirst for power, dominance, and revenge is as strong as ever, and anti-Semitism is still rampant. When a store in West Berlin is vandalized with Swastikas, Sara Sturm, a German woman working for the US Department of Public Affairs, is dispatched to investigate, and meets Max and Karl Portnoy, two Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. Sharing their stories of loss, Sara and Max form a bond. Max and his family were sent to a concentration camp during the war, where his parents and sister perished. The man who betrayed them, Nazi nuclear scientist Heinz Hoffman, is now a wanted criminal. Since Max and his brother are among the very few who can identify him, Sara agrees to accompany them to Hoffman's last known whereabouts, hoping they will finally be able to bring him to justice. But tracking the elusive Hoffman is not just difficult, it's perilous. From the mountainous backroads of Bavaria to the Soviet border, Sara and Max race to evade assassins sent by the top-secret Odessa organization. And then there are other adversaries, hidden but no less lethal, determined to gain control of Hoffman and the knowledge he possesses-knowledge that may determine the course of countless wars to come. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Nazi hunters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Holocaust survivors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cold War $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Electronic books. 651 0 $a Berlin (Germany) $x History $y 1945-1990 $v Fiction. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15628845?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/csp_9781496736741_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012349.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=454CB94E940511EE938C1F5A49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
