Summary

Jefferson Tayte is good at finding people who don't want to be found. For years he has followed faint genealogical trails to reunite families - and uncover long-hidden secrets. But Tayte is a loner, a man with no ties of his own; his true identity is the most elusive case of his career.

But that could all be about to change. Now Tayte has in his possession the beginnings of a new trail - clues his late mentor had started to gather - that might at last lead to his own family. With Professor Jean Summer, his partner in genealogical sleuthing, he travels to Munich to pick up the scent. But the hunt takes them deep into dangerous territory: the sinister secrets of World War II Germany, and those who must keep them buried at any cost.

When their investigations threaten to undermine a fascist organisation, Tayte and Summer know time is running out. Can they find their way to the dark heart of a deadly history before they become its latest victims?

Gripping tale

I have read all the previous Jefferson Tayte books and looked forward to his personal family search resolution. Without giving away the story, suffice it to say that there are many twists and turns and the final outcome was unexpected. The narrator was excellent as usual.
I was slightly disappointed by the book cover as, in my opinion, it gave away a huge clue to the story content but that did not detract from the writing or the performance.

Another Brilliant Story!!!

A brilliant descriptive story of WW2 in Nazi Germany! The links to JT's past and present are an amazing, interwoven puzzle. Simon Vance is a wonderful narrator and very gifted at doing the character voices. Easy to follow 'who's who'.

Another gripping story line.

I don’t have anything to bad to write abut this book. It was easy reading that immersed you in its crackers and the journey they all took. Brilliant plot. Off to start Book 7. I read book 6 first but it hasn’t spoilt the rest of this series. You can undertake them as individual books.

Great book

I always enjoy the Jeferson Tate books. The genealogy involved is relevant to the stories and makes them more interesting and detail.

Addictive

Had reservations about purchasing this book but was pleasantly surprised! The story was great & loved the switching between 1945 & present day. This book was not at all what I expected (although it is the first book I've bought of this author) and will definitely be trying another.

Exciting WWII tale also set in the present.

Terrific storytelling with several twists I didn’t see coming! Great escapism and thoroughly enjoyable! I’ll look out more in the series for sure.
