In this gripping thriller based on real-life events, Lieutenant Albert Ryan is called in to investigate the murder of Nazi collaborators who claimed asylum in Ireland after the Second World War.

A German businessman is the third to die—murdered in a seaside guesthouse. A note pinned on his body is addressed to Colonel Otto Skorzeny, Hitler's favourite commando and once the most dangerous man in Europe. It warns Skorzeny that they are coming for him next.

Can Ryan bring himself to protect a man who caused the deaths of thousands—a man who now lives safely in Ireland in the lap of luxury?
