Munich, 1950, occupied West Germany; Horst Vogle is quietly working to reassemble the city museum's art collection. Aspiring pianist, Greta Furster, introduces him to a group of ambitious war veterans seeking to restore German pride and help refugees fleeing the Communist East. Vogle learns that they are using Nazi gold to fund Egyptian weapons intended to be used against Israel. Vogle has his own secret. He is Jan Goldberg, one-time Jewish Partisan and soldier in the Israeli War of Independence, now an Israeli assassin, targeting Nazi fugitives. To Goldberg, recovering gold taken from Jewish victims is a way of gaining retribution for the Holocaust and as his bond to Greta intensifies, his mission and identity are tested. This fact-based thriller is a must-read for fans of John Le Carré and Alan Furst. It's an intriguing take on the Nazi legacy in Post War Germany and an exploration of the polarities of revenge and reconciliation, the limitations of ideology, and the power of love.
