 *** THE TOP TEN BESTSELLING AUTHOR ***
'A thrilling rollercoaster of a read' Dinah Jefferies, author of The Sapphire Widow
Discover a brilliant story of love, danger, courage and betrayal, from the internationally bestselling author of The Betrayal.

‘Directly I saw him, I knew he had to die.’

Germany, 1945. Klara Janowska and her daughter Alicja have walked for weeks to get to Graufeld Displaced Persons camp. In the cramped, dirty, dangerous conditions they, along with 3,200 others, are the lucky ones. They have survived and will do anything to find a way back home.

But when Klara recognises a man in the camp from her past, a deadly game of cat and mouse begins.

He knows exactly what she did during the war to save her daughter.

She knows his real identity.

What will be the price of silence? And will either make it out of the camp alive?

‘A compelling, edge-of-your-seat story set in a refugee camp immediately after World War II, where a woman will do anything to protect her child. Full of twists and turns’ Julie Cohen, bestselling author of Together

Over-acted and just too many adjectives.
It started to really grate on me. The storyline itself was good but I have read so many better ww2 era books. This did not compare sadly.

Overacted

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I found it to be a little slow to grab my interest but after a few chapters I couldn’t wait to hear more.

Engrossing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A compelling character driven historical novel. Well researched. I liked that it was set in a displaced persons’camp at the end of the war. It gave a different perspective from run of the mill world war 2 novels.
I really enjoy this author. It is her best novel yet. Big bravo.

The best yet from Kate furnivall

After listening to the misery & gloom of the characters & the situation for the first hour, without any hint of things improving, I'm afraid I gave up on this book.

Misery, doom & gloom from the start.
