Keen to hang up his bulletproof vest once and for all, Frank Carver, a reporter for the London Chronicle, is posted to Germany to cover the country’s most fascinating election campaign since the Second World War. Rudolf Gutman, the first Jew to run for chancellor, is promising to free Germany from the shackles of its past.
But Gutman is in danger. Neo-Nazis secretly guided by Hermann von Tietjen, the crazed leader of the popular Free National Party, plot to assassinate the candidate, using the cash and the contacts of old SS men to hire a killer.
Alerted by a tip-off, Carver and local freelancer Wolfgang Renner race to clinch the scoop of their lives, while Tietjen covers his tracks with a devilish gambit that plunges the nation into terror.
As the clock ticks down to election day and the unseen noose tightens around Gutman’s neck, their quest turns into a lone, bloody struggle for survival that brings them face to face with modern Germany’s dark secret. Will they unmask the assassin in time?”
