Bismarck Memorandum

Two German families, one corrupt and Aryan, the other honorable and Jewish - an unlikely and convoluted relationship spanning three generations. Then, in June of 1944, the inevitable final reckoning. In the waning days of Nazi Germany, two larcenous conspiracies collide tragically in a forgotten backwater of war-ravaged Germany, both plans sabotaged by their lone common participant. Four people die and four others simply disappear without a trace, though, clearly, not togethert. Also missing is a fortune in Nazi gold and artwork. The obscure incident generates a cryptic memo which finds its way into the highest echelons of the Third Reich. Then, the Reich falls, the incident, the treasure and the memo all disappearing into history. July, 1970. A quarter-century later, the memo resurfaces. And the killings begin again. Drawn unsuspecting into the carnage, the descendants know only that they must unravel the puzzle before one of them becomes the next victim. But, the trail is cold and the search frustrating, each new revelation taking them further back in history and deeper into the bizarre world of the Third Reich. And looming before them is the danger zone, a fanatic cabal of SS survivors determined to find the answers first.
