In 1931, in Munich, Germany, Adolf Hitler murders his beautiful twenty-three-year-old lover--and half-niece--Geli Raubal.



So begins the most suspenseful novel in years.



A determined detective, Thomas Bauer, obsessively pursues Hitler--putting Bauer's Jewish wife and children in grave danger.



A courageous journalist, Fritz Gerlich, writes story after story detailing the murder--making Gerlich a target for Hitler's Gestapo.



An American professor, Eleanor Robbins, picks up the trail of evidence from present-day Neo-Nazis guarding the Führer's long-held secrets to the death.



The suspense builds to a shocking ending inside the bunker below the Reich Chancellery.
