Defending a client accused of killing her father, attorney
Paul Madriani is drawn into a treacherous conspiracy dating
to World War II in this enthralling installment in the New
York Times bestselling series.
Paul Madriani and Harry Hinds have a new client: Emma
Brauer, a woman accused in the “mercy killing” of her aged
father, Robert Brauer. Insisting she’s innocent, Emma tells
Paul about a package sent to her father shortly before he
entered the hospital. Bequeathed to him by a member of his
unit from World War II, the box contains a key and a slip of
paper. Emma fears that this package is connected to her
father’s death.
When Paul’s young assistant Sofia is murdered, Madriani is
blindsided by the realization that Emma’s fears are
well-grounded.
Digging into Robert’s military history, Madriani discovers
that other members of the Army unit Robert served with have
recently died—under similarly suspicious circumstances. When
he finds that the box sent to Brauer relates to a mysterious
talisman that went missing at the end of the war—a feared
Nazi relic known as the “Blood Flag”—Madriani and Hinds
realize they are in for the fight of their lives.
With Emma’s life on the line and their own safety in
jeopardy, Madriani must uncover the truth before the evil of
the Blood Flag is allowed to spin a new web.
