Penned with a journalist's eye for detail, this authentic and suspenseful novel begins when, during a bombing raid in Yugoslavia, a seemingly invincible NATO fighter plane is shot down, and it soon becomes clear that there is a leak within the military alliance. In Bratislava, Teddy Pedersen, a middle-aged, Danish university lecturer, receives a visit from an Eastern European woman who reveals herself to be his half-sister and informs him that their father was a Danish SS officer who had officially been declared dead in 1952 but had in fact lived on in Yugoslavia for many years. When Teddy's older sister is arrested in Copenhagen on suspicion of being a Stasi agent, a murder leads him--and the Danish intelligence service--to investigate the relationship between these two women, one in Denmark and one in Bratislava. As international tensions mount, the link Teddy discovers proves to have far-reaching personal and political consequences is this engaging and intricate thriller.
