The war is over. But there are still secrets to be found amidst the ashes . . .
Hamburg, 1946.
The war is over and Germany is in ruins. Posted to an Allied-run Hamburg, reporter Georgie Young returns to the country. She fled seven years prior - as Chamberlain spoke those fateful words - to find it unrecognisable.
Amidst the stark horrors of a bombed-out city crumbling under the weight of millions of
displaced Europeans, she discovers pockets of warmth: a violinist playing amidst the wreckage, couples dancing in the streets and a nation trying to make amends.
But when she joins forces with local policeman Harri Schroder to solve a murder case he is working on - a woman with the word traitor engraved into her skin - she soon discovers that the darkest secrets of war haven't been left in the past. And once again she is pulled into a world she hardly expected to see again...
The next gripping and heartbreaking WWII historical fiction novel from international bestseller, Mandy Robotham.
