Fireweed cover

Hamburg, 1947.

Adam is a young British lawyer is posted to the destroyed city to assist in the prosecution of Nazi war criminals, an exhausting, soul-destroying and demoralising task.

He falls in love with a German prostitute during a time of strict anti-fraternisation rules. Rose is beautiful, educated, clever, witty … and Adam becomes increasingly obsessed with her.

Then a Nazi prisoner, responsible for the cold-blooded killing of hundreds of innocents, escapes while in Adam’s custody. There is only one place for the desperate man to hide: in Hamburg’s forbidden Dead Zone. And Adam is even more desperate to find him, no matter what the cost.

Aeschylus 5.0 out of 5 stars A cracking read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2017

Verified Purchase This clever, lively book zips along with characters that are very much of their time(s). I especially enjoyed how the author interweaves time strands from 1944, 1946 and the start of the 20th century. The plotting is excellent and the ending .. well that would be telling. Most enjoyable. 3 people found this helpful -- Aeschylus
