Abigail Marshall from MI 6 is on the hunt for a war criminal, V2 rockets and the quest for justice for a thousand dead women and children erased from the history books of the GDR.
April 30, 1945: Russian troops ransack the German town of Demmin in a 3 day orgy of revenge, rape and murder that results one of history's most horrific mass suicides. The bodies are buried in a mass grave, planted over with sugar beet and erased from the history books of the emerging German Democratic Republic.
One year after the war, MI9 sends Abbie back to Berlin to assist RAF Special Branch in the hunt for a Nazi war criminal. What starts as a routine desk job in the British Sector quickly turns into a manhunt behind the iron curtain and leads Abbie straight to Demmin's dark secret; an American plot to extract V2 rockets and a Russian Colonel who has to pick sides in Abbie's unauthorised mission to give the dead women and children a voice.
This fast paced action novel is set against the background of the birth of the German Democratic Republic- a Communist satellite built on collective guilt and revenge, meticulously planned long before the Russian tanks entered Berlin.
