A spellbinding novel about an epic mystery set against the rise of Nazism that spans decades of family betrayal, impossible love, and the high price of vengeance.

Based on a true story: A Spanish sea captain rescues four German castaways during a treacherous storm in 1940.

Decades later, the captain’s son receives a substantial offer for it and is told an astounding story behind the object: it holds the key to Paul ​Reiner’s lifelong quest. . . .

Munich, 1919. After his family falls into disgrace, fifteen-year-old Paul dreams of the heroic father he never knew. But one night, seconds before committing suicide, Paul’s cousin reveals a terrible secret about his father’s death. This discovery turns Paul’s world upside down and leads him on a hunt in Nazi Germany to uncover the mystery surrounding his father’s death.
