From the Sunday Times bestselling author of HANNS AND RUDOLF, THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE, and BLOOD ON THE PAGE, comes a gripping tale of an unsolved triple murder set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Florence during World War Two. In August 1944, a unit of German soldiers arrives at Il Focardo, the home of Robert Einstein, while he hides in the Tuscan countryside. His wife, Nina, and their two daughters, Luce and Anna-Maria, remain in the villa. When the Germans demand to know Robert's whereabouts, Nina answers the door. Twelve hours later, the three women are brutally murdered. The next day, British troops push the German forces away from Florence, prompting a murder investigation that ultimately fails to identify the culprits. In this compelling narrative, Thomas Harding explores an unimaginable crime that exposes Italy's harrowing wartime history, including its descent into fascism, antisemitism, and deep-seated partisanship. Drawing on unpublished archival sources and firsthand accounts, Harding weaves together history and detective story to create a haunting testament to a family's quest for justice. Praise for Thomas Harding includes accolades from notable authors like John le Carré and Ben Macintyre, who commend his meticulous research and the emotional depth of his narratives.
