You love your father with all your heart. But what if he's not who you think he is? What if he's kept an unforgivable secret from you his whole life? Libby Trent believes she knows the difference between right and wrong. But everything changes when she finds out about a man named Hans Brenner, a Nazi who escaped Germany after the Second World War. A war criminal who has lived his whole life in hiding. Because the man suspected of being Hans Brenner is Libby's own beloved father. The sweetest, gentlest man she knows. Who raised her alone, who lives in her family home. Who cares for and watches over Libby's own children. When Libby finds a secret box in her father's bedroom, she knows it might contain evidence. But does she dare open it, if it could prove her father guilty of the most heinous crimes in history? Because if she finds evidence, she won't just have to choose between right and wrong, she'll have to choose whether to betray her own father... A totally heartbreaking and powerful story about a daughter's impossible dilemma and the darkest of family secrets, perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Amanda Prowse, and Diane Chamberlain.
