A cat-and-mouse game between a disguised SS surgeon and the Jewish man who knows his secrets plays out in postwar Berlin in international bestselling author Campbell Armstrong’s riveting suspense novel
Occupied Berlin is a bombed-out city where a desperate man can easily hide or assume a new identity.

Then one day he finds himself staring into a face from the past: that of the Jew Leonhard Grunwald.
