The Executioner's House - Edward Glover

Germany, October 1946.

The Nuremburg war crimes tribunal has just ended. Major Richard Fortescue, previously part of the British prosecution team, is returning to London when he encounters Karin Eilers, a young German woman with a dark past.

Against the backdrop of war-devastated Berlin and the continuing search for former Nazis, their brief affair and a mysterious black notebook make them unwitting pawns in a deadly game of intrigue and betrayal played by British and Soviet intelligence. What wartime secrets will the notebook unravel? Who else will become a victim of the battle for its possession?

Edward Glover, author of the Herzberg novel trilogy, draws on his Foreign Office posting in Berlin to bring this suspenseful story vividly to life.
