About this audiobook

A beautiful, atmospheric detective story set in Berlin during The Second World War. Orianna Ramunno's Hugo Fischer series is full of tension, drama and, ultimately, hope.

Berlin, June 1944. Hugo Fischer is forced to work for the Nazi secret service, though he keeps his own dangerous secret from the Third Reich.

Faced with a series of high profile cases – the murder of a prominent Nazi couple, the suicide of a Reich journalist, and an accident in which fifteen Hitler Youth children died – he begins to suspect the incidents are linked.

Soon, Hugo finds himself uncovering a world of secrets and silent resistance. But when suspicion starts to fall his way, he finds himself walking a knife edge. To be found part of the conspiracy means death, and not only his own. But how can he betray those who stand up for what is right?
