In 1931, in Munich, Germany, Adolf Hitler murders his beautiful twenty-three-year-old lover—and half-niece—Geli Raubal.

So begins the most suspenseful novel in years.

A determined detective, Thomas Bauer, obsessively pursues Hitler—putting Bauer’s Jewish wife and children in grave danger.

A courageous journalist, Fritz Gerlich, writes story after story detailing the murder—making Gerlich a target for Hitler’s Gestapo.

An American professor, Eleanor Robbins, picks up the trail of evidence from present-day Neo-Nazis guarding the Führer’s long-held secrets to the death.

The suspense builds to a shocking ending inside the bunker below the Reich Chancellery.

History got it wrong.

James Patterson gets it right.
