A DETECTIVE WITH A SECRET
Berlin, June 1944. Hugo Fischer is forced to work for the Nazi secret service, but he carries dangerous secrets he must conceal. Gioele is not his son, but a Jewish boy he rescued during an investigation at Auschwitz.
A FATEFUL SERIES OF CRIMES
The murder of a prominent Nazi couple. The suicide of a Reich journalist. An alleged accident that killed fifteen Hitler Youth children.
As Fischer investigates, he begins to suspect the deaths in Berlin are intertwined.
A CITY FIGHTING BACK
But when suspicion starts to fall Fischer’s way, he finds himself walking a knife edge. To be found part of the conspiracy means death. Yet how can he betray those who stand up for what is right?
ORIANA RAMUNNO (Melfi, 1980) lives in Berlin with her husband and three kids. Following a number of prize-winning crime novellas and short stories in various magazines, she started writing her debut thriller Ashes in the Snow, inspired by the story of her great-uncle, who was detained in the Flossenbürg concentration camp. She dedicates this book to him, a book she describes as “the last act of love in a long journey”.
