About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The gripping and atmospheric new thriller from the award-winning, million-copy-bestselling author.

THE CLOSER YOU GET, THE FURTHER YOU HAVE TO FALL . . .

Munich, 1936. All eyes are on the Bavarian capital for the upcoming Olympic Games. As athletes fight for gold and the Nazis fight for power, Detective Sebastian Wolff faces a battle of his own.

A famous actress has disappeared and Wolff has been ordered to find her, fast. But Elena Lang is no ordinary film-star: she is the mistress of Joseph Goebbels - Hitler's right-hand-man in the party that Wolff despises.

But this is a country on the brink of war, and corruption runs deep. In a search that will take him from high society to the city's darkest corners, Wolff will soon learn just how fine the line is between justice and jeopardy...

Most relevant

It was extremely engaging on every level especially the historical accuracy. Reminds me of the way the world is now with the rise of European fascism yet again.
