A single pistol shot in the night, and an attractive young woman is dead, a suicide. A passing thing in 1931 Munich. Except the dead woman was Adolf Hitler's niece and mistress, the lovely Geli Raubal. The pistol was Hitler's. And the location was Hitler's sumptuous flat. More than half a century later, despite the facts surrounding Geli's death, surely no one should care. But western intelligence learns someone does care. Very much. Both the KGB and a well-financed neo-Nazi organization. And both are willing to murder to uncover a long-buried secret connected to Geli's demise. A secret important enough to torture and kill to find three elderly Germans. American Tom Cooper and Englishman Simon Berwick, agents of U.S. intelligence and British MI6, are given the mission to find the three before the Russians or the Nazis. Both men have scores to settle. Both lost their families to terrorist bombs. They have killed for their countries in the twilight war of espionage; they will kill again. More than one person has already died in the desperate race across Germany. More will die before the search ends in a blinding snowstorm above Hitler's former residence high on the Obersalzburg in Bavaria. And the only reward for the agent who makes a mistake will be a nameless grave.
