In war-torn Yugoslavia, a beautiful filmmaker and photographer-a veritable hero to her people-and a German officer have been brutally murdered. Assigned to the case is military intelligence officer Captain Gregor Reinhardt. Already haunted by his wartime actions and his mistakes off the battlefield, he soon finds that the late Yugoslavian heroine may have been more brilliant--and treacherous-than anyone knew. Maneuvering his way through a minefield of political, military, and personal agendas and vendettas, Reinhardt knows that someone is leaving a trail of dead bodies to cover their tracks. And his search for the truth may kill him before he ever finds it.
