***SHORTLISTED FOR THE WILBUR SMITH NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2021***
- A coming-of-age, historical thriller set in pre-war Germany and France in which a feckless amateur historian must find his courage to carry out a near-impossible quest ordered by SS leader Heinrich Himmler.
- Tasked with an ominous and impossible assignment - to locate the Holy Grail and bring it back for the glory of Nazi Germany - idler Otto Eckhart must use all his ingenuity to defeat his private demons and the dark power of the Third Reich. And will it all end happily with the bold and beautiful woman who becomes embroiled in his quest?
