Fourth In The Martin Bora Series. Spellbinding multi-layered crime novel set in ukraine as the germans regroup
after the disaster of stalingrad. For fans of Phillip Kerr (Bernie Gunther Series), Alan Furst (Spies Of The
Balkans). The hero, Major Martin Bora, is an aristocratic german officer of the ilk of claus
von stauffenberg, torn between his duty as an
officer and his integrity as a human being. Ukraine, 1943. Having barely escaped the inferno of Stalingrad, Major Martin
Bora is serving on the Russian front as a German
counterintelligence officer. Weariness, disillusionment, and battle fatigue are a
soldier’s daily fare, yet Bora seems to be one of
the few whose sanity is not marred by the horrors of war. As the Wehrmacht prepare for the Kursk counter-offensive, a Russian general
defects aboard a T-34, the most advanced tank of
the war. Soon he and another general, this one previously captured, are found
dead in their cells. Everything appears to exclude
the likelihood of foul play, but Bora begins an investigation, in a stubborn
attempt to solve a mystery that will come much too
close to home.
