Cotton Malone faces a secret file from a Soviet wartime spy. Its claims could change how people view the war’s end. They could sway a German election and change politics across Europe.

Two rivals seek the post of German chancellor. One has served his country for sixteen years. The other stirs hate in his nation to gain power. Both hide secrets, but only one knows the other’s past. Their clash turns on events beneath Berlin on April 30, 1945. Did Hitler and Eva Braun die in the bunker? Did Martin Bormann escape? He was Hitler’s close aide. Where did billions in Nazi treasure go as the war ended? The answers could decide who will lead Germany.
