In 1944 … Ross arrives in New York. … He meets a young and lovely fashion model, Natasha … For them New York is not a metropolis of a nation at war: it is a paradise. … But there is another world, inescapable and threatening. Ross still wakes trembling from nightmares of flame, blood, and pitiful screams. He remains obsessed with a need to avenge hideous wrongs, to confront their makers, and to probe the human darkness.’ (from front flap)
