The Nuremberg trials brought many N***s to justice, but others slipped through the cracks. Harold Bergman—WWII veteran, Jewish private detective, and a man haunted by the past—is pulled into a hunt for a war criminal rumored to be hiding in the plains of Kansas.
Alongside Baron Witherspoon, a local beat cop in Ark City, KS, and Alex Gordon, a driven FBI agent who is also Jewish, Harold tracks a monster who traded a uniform for a disguise.
