September 1942 Without Swiss help, the Reichsbank will fail within six months. An American airman is shot down over neutral Switzerland, with knowledge crucial to the Allied war effort. A Russian major escapes the hell that is the Siege of Stalingrad, ordered to Bern to facilitate a Nazi-Soviet truce. A Swiss journalist seeks evidence of her country's economic support of Nazi Germany, but ruthless men are determined to stop her. All three will form an unlikely alliance that could alter the outcome of the negotiations between Germany and Russia. In this rich, complex novel, based on newly declassified documents, Joel Ross takes you on a breathtaking chase through World War II Europe, where everyone's motives are suspect-and nobody is neutral.
