Dive into a fascinating political and espionage thriller by Erik Larson, author of 'The Devil in the White City'. The story unfolds in 1933 Berlin, as William E. Dodd becomes America's first ambassador to Nazi Germany. His daughter, Martha, is quickly seduced by the Nazi party leaders and their vision of restoring the country to a leading global role. Martha becomes the mistress of several of them, including Rudolf Diels, the first head of the Gestapo, while her father tries to warn the State Department of the nascent plans for persecution against the Jews. When Martha falls in love with Boris Winogradov, a Russian spy in Berlin, he convinces her to use her charms to help the Soviet Union. All the protagonists will be involved in a deadly game that will culminate in the famous 'Night of the Long Knives'.
