In 1930s Munich, danger lurks behind dark corners and secrets are buried deep within the city. But Gretchen Müller, who grew up in the National Socialist Party under the wing of her uncle Dolf, has always been shielded from that side of society. Uncle Dolf has kept Gretchen's family in his cherished inner circle ever since her father traded his life for Dolf's, and Gretchen is his favorite, his pet.
Uncle Dolf is none other than Adolf Hitler. And Gretchen follows his every command.
Until she meets a fearless and handsome young Jewish reporter named Daniel Cohen, who claims that her father, the adored Nazi martyr, was actually murdered by an unknown comrade.
As Gretchen investigates the very people she always considered friends, she must decide where her loyalties lie. Will she choose the safety of life as a Nazi darling or will she dare to dig up the truth—even if it could get her and Daniel killed?
