A Shadow Rises. A Nation at Risk.

Larry Cantor was once a high school basketball legend, destined for greatness. But in the turbulent wake of World War II, his dreams shatter as he stumbles upon a terrifying conspiracy—one that could change the course of history.

Horst Mussmann, a ruthless former Auschwitz colonel, should have faced justice at Nuremberg. Instead, political forces set him free. Now, with the backing of Harley Bentley, a powerful real estate mogul in Denver, Mussmann is orchestrating a chilling Nazi resurgence—one that threatens to take root in America's heartland before anyone sees it coming.

Only a handful of unlikely heroes stand in their way. Michael Schlesinger, a cunning developer with a personal stake; Hy Levine, a relentless attorney unafraid of powerful enemies; and Israel Kantorwicz, a militant rabbi with nothing to lose. Together, they must unravel a deadly plot, navigating corruption, violence, and a legal system ill-equipped to stop the rise of a new Reich.

The clock is ticking. If they fail, the next chapter of history could belong to the enemy.

Perfect for fans of historical thrillers, legal dramas, and high-stakes political intrigue.
