Embraced by the Abwehr, his extraordinary success in thwarting Allied attacks soon arouses the suspicions of the Gestapo. How can an foreigner be operating a massive spy ring right under their noses?

Oskar Faulheim of the Gestapo discovers Ballards infatuation with Sabina Pergolesi, a beautiful Italian widow. He quickly resettles her mother in a seedy pension next to the Ravensburg concentration camp. Find out everything you can about your Herr Ballard, Faulheim warns Sabina, or shell be moved into the campwith you to quickly follow.
