The long-awaited sequel to the genre-defining classic, The Odessa File – a groundbreaking thriller that became a hit film and inspired generations of storytellers. The Nazis were never defeated; they were just biding their time.

The bestselling author of The Day of the Jackal returns with his most explosive book yet.

The Nazis may have lost the battle. But the war is just beginning…

Summer, 2025. A US senator is burned to death in his Washington townhouse. Masked gunmen massacre supporters during a football match in Berlin. And an old man is murdered while he sleeps in the dementia ward of a German hospital. Three apparently unconnected events, three steps on the countdown to apocalypse.

When journalist and podcaster Georg Miller starts joining the dots between them, he finds himself the target of professional killers. His investigation soon reveals that his would-be assassins are from an organisation known as the Odessa, a menacing and powerful Nazi group intent on regaining power.

The Odessa has spread its poison from a covert compound in the Bavarian countryside all the way to the halls of the American Capitol. And now, as their campaign to destabilise the Western political system accelerates, Georg must stop the next attack, before it changes the course of history…
