Dan Becket is a brilliant barrister haunted by the shadows of the past. Simon Montford is the darling of the establishment, a millionaire industrialist and former cabinet minister. Their fates are joined in the most sensational trial in fifty years -- the first war crimes prosecution since Nuremberg. <br>When the Allies liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1945, the world believed the horrors of the camps were at an end. But in the experimental sub-camp of Neuwelt, one final atrocity was yet to be committed, and the repercussions are surfacing only now with Major Simon Montford of the British Army on trial for murder. <br>Becket does everything he can to avoid prosecuting the case. Accepting the brief could ruin his career; refusing it could endanger his life and that of his daughter.
