As the Second World War nears its chaotic end, Martin Cohen, a British operative working out of neutral Switzerland, is pulled into a dangerous hunt for one of the Reich’s most elusive figures – Colonel General Hans Strasser. Shot and left for dead by Strasser at a Swiss hotel, Cohen barely survives, but his thirst for justice remains undiminished. With Europe in flames and the Nazi regime crumbling, he joins a British detachment tasked with capturing war criminals. Strasser, once a powerful industrialist within the Nazi machine, is now a man on the run, using every means at his disposal to evade the net tightening around him.

But the pursuit is more than just a mission. For Cohen, it is personal. Strasser’s syndicate of looted gold, his brutal execution of prisoners, and his direct attack on Cohen himself have made him a singular obsession. From clandestine meetings in the shadow of the Alps to the final desperate days in Hitler’s bunker, the chase spans a continent in turmoil. As the Allies push into Germany, Cohen’s determination to see Strasser brought to justice leads him deeper into a world of deception, shifting alliances, and unfinished revenge.
