In March 1944, 76 Allied officers tunnelled out of Stalag Luft III. Of the 73 captured, 50 were shot by direct order of Hitler. This is the story of how a British Bobby from Blackpool, Frank McKenna, was sent to post-war Germany on the express orders from Churchill to bring the Gestapo murderers to justice. In a quest that ranges from the devastated, bombed out cities of Europe to the horrors of the concentrations camps, McKenna is relentless in his pursuit. A gripping read set in the aftermath of World War II.

SIMON READ is a former award-winning newspaper reporter and bestselling author. Born in Britain, he is the author of Dark City: Crimes in Wartime London. He now lives in the U.S.
Shortly after The Great Escape of seventy six Allied airmen from the infamous Stalag Luft III, fifty of the recaptured men were shot on the direct orders of Hitler. It was a chilling and brutal act, in defiance of both international law and the Geneva Convention.
Outraged by this crime, Churchill's government swore to pursue justice at any cost and formed a team of military police that was sent to hunt down the killers. It became a manhunt that spanned over three years and a search that would lead the men into the darkest realms of Nazi fanaticism.
