Fifty years later, Walter Gersdorff, the widows son, who was eleven years old in the spring of 1938, discovers the carefully hidden diary the boarder had kept during his stay, even though he should never have written any of its contents down. What Walter finds is a scathing chronicle of one the most tumultuous years in German history, narrated by a secret agent on a deadly mission. Josef Hofmann was not the returned Argentinian immigrant hed said he washe was a communist spy under Moscows command to try to reconnect with any remnants of Germanys suppressed communist party. | ||
