About this listen

A beautiful, atmospheric detective story set in Berlin during The Second World War. Oriana Ramunno's Hugo Fischer series is full of tension, drama and, ultimately, hope.

A DETECTIVE WITH A SECRET

Berlin, June 1944. Hugo Fischer is forced to work for the Nazi secret service, but he carries dangerous secrets he must conceal. Gioele is not his son, but a Jewish boy he rescued during an investigation at Auschwitz.

A FATEFUL SERIES OF CRIMES

The murder of a prominent Nazi couple. The suicide of a Reich journalist. An alleged accident that killed fifteen Hitler Youth children.

As Fischer investigates, he begins to suspect the deaths in Berlin are intertwined.

A CITY FIGHTING BACK

But when suspicion starts to fall Fischer’s way, he finds himself walking a knife edge. To be found part of the conspiracy means death. Yet how can he betray those who stand up for what is right?
