One of the unsolved mysteries of the Second World War is what happened to the Blutfahne, the ‘Blood Flag’ of the Nazi party which was one of the most sacred icons for the Third Reich. Now, billionaire Gunther von Albrecht has dreams of creating a Fourth Reich to assert its influence on America and the European Union, especially Germany. But he feels that possessing the Blood Flag is absolutely necessary as a vital symbol of Germany’s new Reich and position in world affairs. Albrecht will stop at nothing to find it, and that not only includes numerous acts of antisemitism, but murders of all those who might know the Blood Flag’s location. Because of his extensive knowledge of World War II and Hitler’s Germany, the NYPD calls upon Professor Danny Davison, son of the renowned Professor Bradley Davison, to help solve the homicides and foil the plans for the Fourth Reich. His research skills lead him on a circuitous path that dates back over one hundred years and reveals secrets previously hidden from historians. In this, the second Danny Davison Mystery, the young professor’s keen mind is at the forefront of the investigation as he assists Chief Mag Goldman and the Flying Squad of homicide detectives in their pursuit of one of the city’s most heinous serial killers.
