About this listen

A stunning thriller set in wartime Berlin from the author of Blackout.

Berlin. January 1941.

Evil cannot bring about good...

After Germany's invasion of Poland, the world is holding its breath and hoping for peace. At home, the Nazi Party's hold on power is absolute.

One freezing night, an SS doctor and his wife return from an evening mingling with their fellow Nazis at the concert hall. By the time the sun rises, the doctor will be lying lifeless in a pool of blood.

Was it murder or suicide? Criminal Inspector Horst Schenke is told that under no circumstances should he investigate. The doctor's widow, however, is convinced her husband was the target of a hit. But why would anyone murder an apparently obscure doctor? Compelled to dig deeper, Schenke learns of the mysterious death of a child. The cases seem unconnected, but soon chilling links begin to emerge that point to a terrifying secret.

Even in times of war, under a ruthless regime, there are places in hell no man should ever enter. And Schenke fears he may not return alive...

"A terrific depiction of the human world within the chilling world of the Third Reich." (Peter James)

"Mesmerising. Nail-biting. Unputdownable." (Damien Lewis)

A refreshing change from the rather tedious Roman series and shows that Simon Scarrow can really write. I enjoyed the narration as well and look forward to a continuation of this series. Well done!
