Twenty years earlier, he survived a brutal attack that killed his father—a German army sniper—and his sister. When Alex’s mother suddenly dies, long-buried secrets begin to surface. He learns that the attack on his family may not have been the work of Serbian extremists, as he was always told. Instead, his father may have been involved in a covert mission tied to a mysterious Iraqi informant known as “Curveball” whose claims about weapons of mass destruction helped push the world toward war. As Alex follows a trail from Athens to the corridors of power in Berlin, he uncovers a political scandal that powerful figures would rather keep buried. The closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous his search becomes.
