"At the heart of Nazi Germany lies a malignant cancer that is steadily eating away the fabric of the Third Reich. The Red Orchestra - a ring of spies bound together by their fanatical belief in Communism, led by Leo Trepper, Polish Jew and spymaster extraordinary.
But sworn to Trepper's destruction are the one-armed veteran, Peipe, and the dying, cancer-ridden Gestapo-man, Stahl. And lastly, a traitor in the Red Orchestra itself, planted by an enemy more implacable, more skilled in treachery than the Reich...
How Peipe and Stahl track Trepper down, how the Orchestra is disbanded, how, in the dying convulsions of the Reich, the betrayer is himself betrayed, is the theme of this superb novel of action and suspense."
A standalone thriller by Leo Kessler (the pen name of historian Charles Whiting) set in the Second World War.
