Nearly two decades after World War II, it is a foggy childhood memory for 24-year-old Eva Bruhns. Even as Eva anticipates a proposal from her boyfriend, her plans are turned upside down when a fiery investigator, David Miller, hires her as a translator for a war crimes trial in her native Frankfurt. As she becomes more deeply involved, Eva begins to question her family's silence on the war. Despite opposition by her family and her lover, Eva joins the prosecutors determined to bring the Nazis to justice—and in Annette Hess's debut, it is a decision that could change the present and the past of her nation.
