Police Inspector Henri Lefort's wishes for a quiet holiday season are dashed when the Gestapo orders him to investigate the disappearance of Dr. Viktor Brandt, a neurologist involved in a secret project at one of Paris's hospitals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeing forced onto a missing persons case for the enemy doesn't deter Henri from conducting his real job. A Frenchman has been beaten to death in what appears to be a botched burglary, and catching a killer is more important than locating a wayward scientist. But when Henri learns that the victim's brother is a doctor who worked at the same hospital as the missing German, his investigation takes a disturbing turn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUncovering a relationship between the two men--one that would not be tolerated by the Third Reich--Henri must tread carefully. And when he discovers that Dr. Brandt's experimental work is connected to groups of children being taken from orphanages, Henri risks bringing the wrath of both the SS and the Gestapo upon himself and everyone he loves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e*\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Cara Black\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMARK PRYOR is a former newspaper reporter and felony prosecutor, originally from England but now working as a criminal defense attorney in Austin, Texas.
