Tuscany, 1944. A group of Nazi soldiers arrive at the farm of Robert Einstein – Albert’s cousin. Over the next few hours four lives will be first terrorised then destroyed. The soldiers vanish. For eighty years this crime has remained unsolved. Now Thomas Harding peels back the layers of history to discover the truth. Who ordered the killings? Who was involved? And, most importantly, why?
