When a prominent doctor with political connections is viciously bludgeoned to death in Dublin in 1963, for Detective Inspector Harry Wall, the case awakens dark memories of a horrific experience during World War Two. As he begings to dig, the detective methodically uncovers a web of corruption, greed and barbarity, and exposes humanity's darkest underbelly. Wall's investigation ultimately forces him to return to Germany, where he follows a shocking trail of Nazi brutality that leads him back to the heart of government in Ireland. And along the way, Harry Wall must confront the spectre that has haunted his dreams for almost two decades - his own conscience.
