A riveting mystery that has its origins in the final days of WWII, and starts in present day with the assassination of an old, ex-Nazi SS Officer who harbors a world-shattering secret. A trail of bodies and subtle clues lead to the discovery of looted art masterpieces, gold and the Amber Room.
Set in present day Switzerland, Germany and Austria, the principal characters, a French Art Historian and a Swiss police detective join forces in an effort to recover the gold, art masterpieces and solve the murders. In the course of the investigation, they discover that they could be on the threshold of unearthing one of the greatest hidden treasure hoards since the discovery of King Tutenkhamen's tomb. But they come face to face with an organized group of killers after the same treasure.
Along the way, the police detective finds danger and passionate romance. The story concludes with an ironic and completely unexpected twist that will flabbergast even the most seasoned whodunnit reader.

The story illustrated another dimension of the Nazi's attempt to destroy valuable possessions that belonged to Jews, and the conspiracy to hide it.
I felt it was a compelling tale, written in a way that was difficult at times to put down.
I'd like to see other stories from this author on this subject. I never knew how much art work had been confiscated and then vanished forever.

I got this book because I enjoy mysterys. But the romance part really grabbed me. I want to know how does a male writer get into a woman's head and her feelings like that?
Truly a pleasdant surprise on 2 counts. The mystery and the romance. Tom, do you have any more like this? Please let me know. Thank you a lot.

A wonderful story. A great blending of principal characters. They were very real and delightfully developed. I felt as though I really understood Valerie's feelings at a deep level.
By the end of chapter four I kept wanting to go back to the book constantly, but responsibilities tore me away. I finished the story in only four days, which is a record for me.
Mr. Dodd, I truly hope that there will be a sequel.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I was captivated by the story line, the twists and turns, and the development of the characters. They were rich and believable.
The ending totally surprised me, it came out of nowhere, but I enjoyed it. It was masterfully written, and I have recommended it to several of my friends.

All right, do I know mystery stories or what? This one really rang my bell. What characters! Soria was fantastic and dynamic. A correction to one of the reviewers, Clive Owens has the Soria part LOCKED UP. Forget Hugh Jackman. Valerie, I'm still fantasizing about. Germain was super cool. All of the villains were cold and calculating and definitely scary. I wanna go the Switzerland and see this place.
The old general needed to get more involved though...ooops, sorry, I shouldn't give away anything.
If you're a mystery buff like me, don't miss this one. I defy you to have guessed where the ending ends.
