When German intelligence officer Captain Reinhardt is reassigned to a new branch of the military police, his position separates him from the allies he has made. This includes a circle of fellow dissenting Germans who formed a resistance cell against the Nazis.

Critic reviews

"An utterly credible picture of a place and time, and a complex, exceptional character in action." ( Crime Review)

A fascinating story of the end of WW2 in Yugoslavia. I knew virtually nothing of this. Evocatively written, creating an atmosphere of general despair as everyone waits for the end. Very well read.

A fascinating story

The narration was good and I enjoyed the story which came at it from a mostly new angle ie it used a Feldjäger officer as the main character fomenting rarely if ever done but from the more familiar angle of a dissatisfied and disillusioned soldier of the Third Reich. But the setting of Yugoslavia was again a new angle, decent plot, well paced, twists and turns.

An interesting take
