Meer over het boek

In the dying days of World War Two, Pavel Romasko and his Red Army colleagues pick their way through the detritus of a dying Berlin. Stumbling upon the smoking remains of a Nazi bunker, they find something inside that eclipses the horror of even the worst excesses in the city above them. As the war ends, retribution begins. But some revenge cannot be taken at once. Some revenge takes years. Which is how, seventy years later, FBI agent Carla Romero and New York lawyer Gabriel Hall are enlisted to investigate a series of blood-chilling crimes that seem to have their roots in the distant past - even though the suffering they cause is all too present. And for one of them, the disappearance of young women is a particularly personal matter
