Journalist Hannah Vogel has vowed to never again set foot in
her homeland of Germany while the Nazis are still in power.
She has good reason: three years ago in 1931, she kidnapped
her “son,” Anton, from the man claiming to be his
father—Ernst Rohm, head of the Nazis' SA. A powerful man not
to be trifled with, Hannah knows that Rohm will never stop
searching for them.
Hannah is asked to write about a
zeppelin journey from South America to Switzerland, but
Switzerland turns out to be too close. The zeppelin is
diverted to Munich, where Hannah and Anton are kidnapped
and, to Hannah's horror, separated.
It’s unlucky
timing for Rohm, however. Hitler has ordered the execution
of Rohm and hundreds of his storm troopers and is determined
to wipe out any remaining traces of his name. The Night of
the Long Knives has begun.
When Rohm is killed before
Hannah can ascertain Anton’s whereabouts, she desperately
enlists all of her remaining sources and friends to locate
Anton before the Nazis do. And the Gestapo is closing
in…
Thrilling and powerful, A Night of Long
Knives breathtakingly recreates a shattered and betrayed
city as it plunges into darkness.
