The Pale House

While retreating through Yugoslavia with the rest of the army in his new position in the military police, Captain Gregor Reinhardt witnesses a massacre of civilians - only to discover there is more to the incident than anyone believes.

When five mutilated bodies turn up, Reinhardt knows the stakes are growing more important - and more dangerous.

As his investigation begins to draw the attention of those in power, Reinhardt's friends and associates are made to suffer. But as he desperately tries to uncover the truth, his own past with the Ustaše threatens his efforts.

Because when it comes to death and betrayal, some people have long memories. And they remember Reinhardt all too well.

And now, Reinhardt will have to fight them once more.
