A good story. When Captain Jack Cray escapes the prisoner of war camp and heads towards Berlin, the Germans believe he plans to assassinate Hitler. A detective is given the job of finding him and stopping him. The detective is a man of integrity and struggles with what those in charge of Germany have become.

I really enjoyed it. (

Read this book on the recommendation of a friend. The book is terrible and predictable and barely held together but amusing trash for a while. (
