Description

A desperate search for a missing MI6 colleague and the microfilm he possesses leads Professor Katrin Nissen deep into the maelstrom of Nazi-controlled Berlin. Impulsive and reckless, Dieter Weiss may have pushed his luck too far and taken one chance too many. Against all odds, Katrin has just one week to find him.

Posing as a research scientist sympathetic to the Nazis, Katrin attends a conference organized by Heinrich Himmler. The conference will showcase the Nazis' dark plans to redesign nature and will become the birthing ground of the Holocaust - a cost far greater than Katrin is willing to accept.

Weiss's sister, Kristine Trautmann, a staff photographer for Himmler, is also at the conference. While Kristine may provide the key to Dieter's whereabouts, she has her own secrets, and should Himmler discover the truth, it will cost her life.

Against a backdrop of a political agenda so bizarre as to seem impossible, Katrin discovers that the Nazis aren't the only ones to fear. A serial killer stalks the university halls. Armed with her wits and her trusty stiletto, Katrin finds herself in the crosshairs of danger in the fight of her life.

Kathryn M, Reviewer

this was a great start to the WWII Adventures of MI6 Agent Katrin Nissen series, it was what I was hoping for from the description. It worked in the WWII setting and I enjoyed how well the time-line worked. I enjoyed the way the characters were written and did what I was hoping for. Karen K. Brees has a great writing style and this book left me wanting to read more in this series.

"He wasn’t prepared to find that the room had been stripped of everything that had been Emma’s. There was nothing left. Her desk was bare. He pulled open the drawers. Empty. He opened the filing cabinet. The drawers were empty. All her research was gone. All her personal items were gone, as well. It was as if her ghost had come in the middle of the night and removed every trace of her."
