***SHORTLISTED FOR THE WILBUR SMITH NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2021***

• A coming-of-age, historical thriller set in pre-war Germany and France inspired by true events in which a callow, amateur historian must find his courage to carry out a near-impossible quest ordered by SS leader Heinrich Himmler.

• Funny & fast paced, evocative historical settings, touching love-story sub-plot

• Tasked with an ominous and impossible assignment - to locate the Holy Grail and bring it back for the glory of Nazi Germany - the feckless dreamer must use all his ingenuity to defeat his private demons and the dark power of the Third Reich.

• And how will it end with Himmler's secretary, the bold and beautiful Ingrid?
