- Book Synopsis
- Hamburg, 1947. Adam is a young British lawyer is posted to the destroyed city to assist in the prosecution of Nazi war criminals, an exhausting, soul-destroying and demoralising task. He falls in love with a German prostitute during a time of strict anti-fraternisation rules. Rose is beautiful, educated, clever, witty … and Adam becomes increasingly obsessed with her. Then a Nazi prisoner, responsible for the cold-blooded killing of hundreds of innocents, escapes while in Adam's custody. There is only one place for the desperate man to hide: in Hamburg's forbidden Dead Zone. And Adam is even more desperate to find him, no matter what the cost.
- About The Author
- Richard Vaughan Davies is the author of Fireweed and of In the Shadow of Shakespeare. Richard ran a business in Chester and North Wales for many years, which grew to become one of the leading independent menswear retailers in the UK. At one time he took a three-year sabbatical to read English and Italian at the University of Liverpool. He wrote a regular business column in the Liverpool Daily Post and also published a how-to book named Let's Talk Shop. He and his partner Barbara retired to the Cotswolds in 2007. This was partly in order to live near Stratford-upon-Avon to indulge Richard's love of Shakespeare, where he made the startling discoveries featured in In the Shadow of Shakespeare. He has three children: Zoe, Ric and Zanna.
