Fifty years ago, Heinrich "Henry" Rohling was a German POW in Camp Conrad. Now widowed and in his seventies, he journeys back to Conrad, Kansas, to join in a POW reunion. And to correct the American verdict that his friend Novak died of suicide many years ago.
At the reunion, Henry meets familiar faces: Reinhardt, the former colonel who ran the inside of Camp Conrad with an iron fist, Emily, the farm girl Henry fell for and left behind, and Kimmel, his bitter rival—now married to Emily.
How can Henry convince the Americans that another prisoner killed Novak? What other secrets did the camp hold? And why did Emily remain married to an ogre like Kimmel? With clues falling into place, Henry believes the killer still lives. Can he uncover the mystery before the killer strikes again?
