What this book is about
In the aftermath of World War II, British agent David Haydon is tasked with investigating crimes against children committed under the Nazi regime—and with finding those still responsible who have escaped justice. The deeper he digs into the horror of what was done to the most vulnerable, the more dangerous his mission becomes. Allbeury brings the moral weight of history to this quietly devastating spy novel about accountability, evil, and the price of remembering.
