New York, juin 1938: on découvre le corps d'une infirmière dans un vieil immeuble. Le détective privé Fintan Dunne commence son enquête. Curieusement, toutes les pistes convergent vers des membres de l'élite américaine, fascinés par les théories eugéniques nazies. De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, l'Allemagne assiste au triomphe d'Hitler. Tiraillés entre morale et patriotisme, quelques officiers des services secrets tentent de mettre un frein à la folie du dictateur : l'heure du chat, celle où l'on choisit son camp, a sonné...

Crater exited a restaurant in New York one evening in August 1930, got into a cab and was never seen or heard from again. Quinn takes this event and weaves a tale of murder. While the plot was interesting, the book never got to the "I can't put it down" stage.… (mais)
