Shadow Without a Name
ABOUT
THE BOOK
In 1916, on a train speeding towards the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s disastrous Eastern Front, two soldiers play a game of chess. In the balance are their identities. The winner becomes a railway signalman and lives out the war in safety. The loser travels on to certain death.
In 1943, it seems that someone is playing the same game, this time for even greater stakes. This time the game is for the identity of Adolf Eichmann.
