But Elena Lang is no ordinary film-star- she is the mistress of Joseph Goebbels - Hitler's right-hand-man in the party that Wolff despises. But corruption runs deep in Munich and Elena is just the first to go missing. In a search that will take him from high society to the city's darkest corners, Wolff is about to learn just how easily the hunter becomes the hunted- this is a city on the brink of war, and some enemies are better left alone.
