About this ebook
2. Controversially, the hero is an aristocratic German officer in the Wehrmacht. With echoes of Claus von Stauffenberg, he is torn between his duty as an officer and his integrity as a human being. He must investigate the deaths of a young German Embassy secretary, a Roman socialite and a cardinal, forcing him to confront historical characters like Field Marshal Kesselring and Monsignor Montini (the future Pope Paul VI).
3. Will appeal to fans of Phillip Kerr (Bernie Gunther series), Alan Furst (“Spies of the Balkans”) and Bernhard Schlink’s “The Reader”.
4. It should benefit from the vogue for WWII in fiction, film and tv. “Valkyrie”, “Inglourious Basterds”, “Pacific”.
5. Third of a series of five to be published by Bitter Lemon Press.
