For years he has mystified Germany with his astounding prophecies. Bora's inquiry, supported by former S.A member Florian Grimm, resurrects memories of the excessive and brilliant world of Jazz Age cabarets and locales. Around them, in the oppressive summer heat, constant allied bombing, war-weary Berlin teems with refugees and nearly a million foreign laborers. Soon Bora realizes that there is much more at stake than murder in a paranoid city where everyone suspects everyone, and where persistent rumors whisper about a conspiracy aimed at the very heart of the Nazi hierarchy. Could the charming Emmy Pletsch, who works for Claus von Stauffenberg, be a key to understanding what is going on? Bora eventually meets with Stauffenberg, facing an anguishing moral dilemma, as a German soldier and as a man. The 20 July plot and its dramatic implications as never told before."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Bora, Martin van $c (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Hitler, Adolf, $d 1889-1945 $x Assassination attempts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Anti-Nazi movement $z Germany $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $z Berlin $z Berlin $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Clairvoyants $x Crimes against $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Conspiracies $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Berlin (Germany) $x History $y 1918-1945 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781912242443 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200902012333.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AED1E500ECE311EA81C5C7DA34ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
