New Hardback
Summer 1944, A unit of German soldiers arrives at a villa near Florence.
Villa Il Focardo is home to Robert Einstein, cousin to the most famous scientist in the world, Albert Einstein – a prominent enemy of the Nazi regime. Having renounced his German citizenship a decade earlier, Albert’s safely in America, well beyond Hitler’s reach. The same is not true for his cousin.
Twelve hours after arriving, the soldiers have vanished – and a family is dead. This crime – and what happened next – still haunts those who survived. Who ordered it? Who was involved? And why did they get away with it?
This is the untold story of the Einstein vendetta.
