Publisher's Synopsis
On September 18, 1931, Hitler's niece and live-in lover Geli Raubal was found dead by gunshot would in her locked bedroom in Hitler's Munich flat. The gun was Hitler's own Walther 6.35 mm pistol. Without inquest or autopsy the death was ruled suicide and Geli's body spirited across the border for burial in a Catholic cemetery in Vienna. But suicides are forbidden Catholic burials. Nor was this the only problem. An avalanche of contradictions tumbled out of police reports. Game on.
While the Weimar agents are hunting the murderer, Himmler's SS officers shoulder through the crowded streets of Oktoberfest hunting the agents. True in every detail to the facts that have emerged, the relentless hunt heats up in a crucible of unremitting tension and betrayal. Never is the protagonist, Dieter Fahrlicht, entirely free of danger. Nor is the murderer revealed until the last scene.
