About this listen

In the winter of 1942, an army vanishes into the icefields of the Eastern Front.

In the summer of 1945, a massacre in small-town Italy makes international headlines.

Today, an ordinary man is about to stumble onto a horrifying secret.

Alex Lago is a jaded journalist whose family, marriage, and career are fading fast. So, when the accidental discovery of an aged photo from World War II offers him a last gasp at bonding with his dying father, Alex can't help but scratch at the scabs of a mystery seventy years in the making.

What he's about to uncover is a secret that can topple a political dynasty.

From the unhealed wounds of a post-war massacre to an army of boys forever frozen at the gates of Stalingrad, from British spies reshaping Italy's post-war future to the casual cruelty of ice-hard US Army investigators, and from the unsolved murder of a partisan hero to the most heroic, untold battle of World War II, the deceits of the past are about to propel Alex on a collision course with a deadly legacy … until a compromised, beautiful stranger promises redemption for an unimaginable price.
