ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
For fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz--the New York Times bestselling author Kelly Rimmer, returns with a gripping novel inspired by the true story of Operation Paperclip: a controversial secret US intelligence program that employed former Nazis after WWII.
He will do anything to protect his family, even if it means ignoring the horror.
Berlin, 1930. As the Nazi party rises to power, Sofie's husband, Jrgen Rhodes, benefits from the new government. Although they don't share Hitler's ideology, Jrgen's new position as a scientist in the space program surrounds them with privileges. However, Sofie watches in horror as the same regime that uplifts them also destroys the lives of thousands of innocents. To keep her family safe, will she be able to turn a blind eye to the horror?
Twenty years later, Jrgen is one of the many German scientists who emigrates to the United States after receiving a conditional pardon: he must collaborate in the fledgling space program of this country. For Sofie, this is the opportunity to free herself from the ghosts that haunt her, but their neighbors are not as hospitable or understanding as she had hoped. When scandalous rumors begin to circulate about the Rhodes' supposed affiliation with Hitler's regime, an unexpected act of violence threatens to forever shatter Sofie and her family's dream of a new beginning.
