It’s 1952, just seven years after the war ended. Nuremberg Trails have put most of the Nazi war criminals behind the bars but Inspector Harri from Hamburg police have been called to find a Nazi war criminal and the war criminal was someone that Harri used to know–someone that he used to be trained at police cadet with. Together with a British officer, Dexie, Harrie and Dexie must find this person before he would flee again.

This was an interesting historical fiction read. I actually enjoyed reading it and learned so much tits and bits about what life was like after the war. The story is also well written and realistic and the author must have done research on this topic before writing the story. Overall, I actually enjoyed reading this historical fiction. This also could be read as a thriller since there is some mystery is also involved in the story. Overall, this story is worth four stars.
