Synopsis

*** THE TOP TEN BESTSELLING AUTHOR ***
'A thrilling rollercoaster of a read' Dinah Jefferies, author of The Sapphire Widow
Discover a brilliant story of love, danger, courage and betrayal, from the internationally bestselling author of The Betrayal.

‘Directly I saw him, I knew he had to die.’
 
Germany, 1945. Klara Janowska and her daughter Alicja have walked for weeks to get to Graufeld Displaced Persons camp. In the cramped, dirty, dangerous conditions they, along with 3,200 others, are the lucky ones. They have survived and will do anything to find a way back home.
 
But when Klara recognises a man in the camp from her past, a deadly game of cat and mouse begins.

He knows exactly what she did during the war to save her daughter.

She knows his real identity.

What will be the price of silence? And will either make it out of the camp alive?

Goodreads review by Jaline on April 30, 2019

Update: Publication Day Today - April 30, 2019 Of the many novels and history books about World War Two, one aspect of events that is much rarer to come across is the aftermath.

Goodreads review by Ken on December 05, 2018

I must confess that I wasn’t aware of the Displaced Persons Camps that sprung up in Germany after the Second World War.
