In the end, all we face is ourselves.
75th anniversary of the pronouncement and execution of the sentences of the Nuremberg Trial
The great new novel by best-selling author Andreas Pflüger

As prominent war criminals are standing trial in Nuremberg, the U.S. Army has long since begun cooperating with the perpetrators of Nazi Germany in a camp near Frankfurt. In the engine room of the Cold War, pragmatics are in charge and their cynicism brings Paula to the edge of despair. This is where she meets an Austrian Jew who offers his services to the Americans. He claims to be Johann Kupfer, the greatest spy of World War II, and Paula is tasked with finding out whether he is telling the truth about his identity and his past. But those who seek the truth must be able to bear it.
Set against the backdrop of post-war Germany and the beginnings of the Cold War, Andreas Pflüger writes about guilt, forgiveness and the power of love with tremendous narrative force, refinement and visual power in this brilliantly researched novel.
»Pflüger has crafted his own amalgam of fact and fiction. Highly condensed, well-built scenes. Straight into the heart of the action and out again quickly.« Peter Körte, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
»Literary skill, poetry, German guilt: a combination of fact and fiction that only Pflüger has mastered.« Gert Scobel
»Pflüger succeeds in presenting contemporary history in a captivating way. With his fast, in some parts ludicrous wordplay, he gives the novel not only breathless suspense but also enormous linguistic force. A great book!« Andreas Wallentin, WDR 5
»The language is poetically charged, unsparing in its description of horror. The novel is so rich in content, offers so many discussions that must be had ... [a] brilliant novel …« Martin Maria Schwarz, hr2 Kultur

»Pflüger creates a world of visual impressions using tiny details, only to have it disappear, taking the deceptive safety it had created with it.« Nicolas Freund, Süddeutsche Zeitung on Niemals
»Pflüger has crafted his own amalgam of fact and fiction. Highly condensed, well-built scenes. Straight into the heart of the action and out again quickly.« Peter Körte, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
