About the book
In New York Times bestseller Steve Berry’s next Cotton Malone adventure, a secret dossier from a World War II-era Soviet spy comes to light containing information that, if proven true, would not only rewrite history — it could impact Germany's upcoming national elections and forever alter the political landscape of Europe.
There are two contenders in the race to become Chancellor of Germany. One has been a loyal servant for the past sixteen years, while the other is a troublemaker inciting nationalistic hatred. Both have their own hidden agendas, but only one holds the key to unlocking the truth about the other. Their paths are set to collide, all hinging on the events of a pivotal day - April 30, 1945 - and the secrets buried deep beneath Berlin in the Fürherbunker. Were Adolph Hitler and Eva Braun's deaths confirmed there? Did Martin Bormann, Hitler's trusted companion, manage to escape? And most importantly, where did the vast wealth of the Nazi regime vanish to in the final days of World War II? The resolution of these mysteries will dictate the future Chancellor of Germany.
Embarking on a journey from the enigmatic Chilean lake district, through treacherous South African mesas, and finally delving into the clandestine vaults of Switzerland, former agent of the Justice Department, Cotton Malone, unravels the enigma surrounding the fate of Hitler, Braun, and Bormann. The startling revelations not only have the power to reshape Europe, but also to unmask a perplexing enigma known as the Kaiser's web.
