Description: Germany, Spring 1946: The Nuremberg Trials are underway. Three hundred miles north, in the Rehstadt Institue, a British "Assessment and Evaluation" centre, Alex Foster interrogates a succession of lesser war criminals, deciding their futures in the soon-to-be-reborn Germany. As spring progresses, Alex Foster finds himself at the centre of a conflict involving British, American and German interests; and for the first time in his career he also finds himself compromised - forced into subterfuge and deceit as he struggles to weigh personal convictions and loyalties against the greater political and military good.
