Story
After 1933, as the terror regime took hold, most of the two-thirds of Germans who had never voted for the Nazis tried to keep their heads down and protect their families - they moved to the country, or pretended to support the regime to avoid being denounced by neighbours, and tried to work out what was really happening in the Reich, surrounded as they were by Nazi propaganda and fake news.

Story
Red Square, 1985. The naked body of a young man is left outside the walls of the Kremlin: frozen solid - like marble to the touch - and missing the little finger from his right hand. A week later Alex Marston, the headstrong 15-year-old daughter of the British ambassador, disappears. Army intelligence officer Tom Fox, posted to Moscow to keep him from telling the truth to a government committee, is asked to help find her. It's a shot at redemption. But Russia is reluctant to give up the worst of her secrets.

Story
When disgraced spy Solomon Vine's friend and rival Gabriel Wilde vanishes without trace, it's only Vine who might be able to discover what has happened to him. A single missing file holds the key. That, too, is gone. But its contents, Vine is told, are incendiary. There were few Wilde could trust. And being one of them appears to have fatal consequences. But as Vine's off-the-books investigation begins to reveal the shocking truth, he realizes there's much more at stake than one man's life.

Publisher's Summary
A heart-pounding and intelligent espionage novel about a Nazi war criminal who was supposed to be dead, the rogue CIA agent on his trail and the beautiful woman connected to them both.
Seventeen years after the fall of the Third Reich, Max Weill has never forgotten the atrocities he saw as a prisoner at Auschwitz - nor the face of Dr Otto Schramm, a camp doctor who worked with Mengele on appalling experiments and who sent Max’s family to the gas chambers. As the war came to a close, Schramm was one of the many high-ranking former-Nazi officers who managed to escape Germany for new lives in South America. There, leaders like Argentina’s Juan Perón gave them safe harbour and new identities.
With his life nearing its end, Max asks his nephew Aaron Wiley - an American CIA desk analyst - to complete the task Max never could: to track down Otto in Argentina, capture him and bring him back to Germany to stand trial.
Unable to distinguish allies from enemies, Aaron will ultimately have to discover not only Otto but the boundaries of his own personal morality - how far he is prepared to go to render justice.
Critic Reviews
"Joseph Kanon owns this corner of the literary landscape and it’s a joy to see him reassert his title with such emphatic authority." (Lee Child)
"Sensational! No one writes period fiction with the same style and suspense – not to mention substance – as Joseph Kanon." (Scott Turow)
"Kanon is fast approaching the complexity and relevance not just of le Carré and Greene but even of Orwell." (New York Times)

Well presented, but faded......
Good basic plot, fairly absorbing but ending was dragged out too much. Last one third didn’t work well for me. Just faded into unlikely complexity.

Gripping and extremely well written
A suspenseful and wrenching novel, perfectly narrated by Jonathan Davis.
Joseph Kanon's storytelling is masterful, and the dialogue of his characters is believable, clever and intriguing.
I was dragged into this novel almost immediately and was mesmerised by the story from beginning to end.

Just not my cup of tea
I found the story fairly predictable. The only surprising thing about the romance was that he never questioned his deception. The story was shallow and I don’t find action as gripping in a book as on the screen, so it didn’t work for me.
