When three apparently unconnected events break on the same morning — a senator murdered in Washington, a massacre in Berlin, an old man quietly killed in a Munich nursing home — retired barrister and art restorer Leroy Cunningworth sees what others miss: a composition, not chaos.
Drawn to Vienna by his old ASIO contact Jack Flint, Leroy meets Georg Miller, a journalist who has spent eighteen months tracing whispers of a rebuilt ODESSA network — the Nazi escape organisation that never truly dissolved. What Miller has found points to Heinrich Denton, the patient inheritor of an eighty-year project, and to a fortune hidden in Swiss accounts since 1943, protected by a cipher carried unknowingly in an old man's memory.
The Odessa Reckoning takes Leroy from Phillip Island to Vienna, Luxembourg, Reykjavik and Tel Aviv in a race against a conspiracy three generations in the making.
