The Nazis were never defeated. They were just biding their time...
Summer, 2025. A US senator is burned to death in his Washington townhouse. Masked gunmen massacre supporters during a football match in Stuttgart. 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…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this explosive sequel to The Odessa File from Forsyth, who died earlier this year, and Kent (The Shadow Network), journalist Georg Miller travels to a hospital in Stuttgart, Germany, to interview the survivors of a terrorist attack. Georg is following in the footsteps of his grandfather, legendary reporter Peter Miller, who became famous for infiltrating the Odessa, an organization of ex-SS officers who spread across the globe after WWII. At the hospital, Georg meets Carl Ackermann, an elderly dementia patient who mistakes the reporter for his father and confesses to a murder. Stunned, George investigates and soon learns that Ackermann was a central figure within the Odessa. When both Ackermann and his wife die suddenly, Georg is framed for their murders. On the run and fighting to clear his name, Georg teams up with his grandfather, who helps him uncover a deeper conspiracy: the Odessa is now funding terrorist groups to advance their fascist agenda worldwide. Though it revisits a 52-year-old bestseller, this is no creaky nostalgia trip. Propulsive, paranoid, and chillingly plausible, Forsyth's swan song pivots on a conspiracy that feels less imagined than uncovered. Readers will be rapt.
