Review

"This one is definitely not your out-of-the-box spy caper, thus, highly recommended." (starred review)

"Turnbull has a crumpled everyman charm and his adventures in Europe...are agreeably spiced...."

Publisher's note

A professor of German history learns that his estranged mentor is arrested for possessing stolen World War II archives, and aids the FBI in the search for missing documents in Berlin, where he crosses paths with an aging arms merchant. 75,000 first printing.

Annotation

While quietly working in the library, history professor Nat Turnbull gets a surprise visit--from the FBI. Apparently his former major professor, Gordon Wolfe, whom he has not spoken with in years, has been arrested for stealing archival documents. No pedestrian documents, these relate to spies and resistance groups during World War II. The government sends Nat out to get to the bottom of Gordon's involvements during the war, pitting the professor against a rich and ruthless arms dealer and other dangerous individuals who will stop at nothing to keep their past secrets buried.

Nat Turnbull, a history professor who specializes in the German resistance, is only mildly surprised when his estranged mentor, Gordon Wolfe, is arrested for possession of stolen World War II archives. But what's in the archives is staggering: a spymaster's trove missing since the end of the war, one that Gordon has always claimed is full of "secrets you can't find anywhere else . . . "live "ammunition."
Key documents are still missing, however, and Nat believes Gordon has hidden them. The FBI agrees, and when Gordon is then found dead in jail, the Bureau dispatches Nat to track down the material, which has also caught the interest of several dangerous competitors. Following a trail of cryptic clues left behind by Gordon, and assisted by an attractive German academic with questionable motives, Nat's quest takes him to Bern and Berlin, where his path soon crosses that of Kurt Bauer, an aging German arms merchant still hoarding his own wartime secrets. As their tales--and Gordon's--intersect across half a century, long-buried exploits of deceit, devotion, and doomed resistance begin working their way to the surface. As the stakes rise, so do the risks.
Here is Dan Fesperman's most thrilling, unexpected, and satisfying novel yet.
