When retired warehouse worker Kevin Gil files a routine records request, he receives something he was never meant to see: an unredacted government file exposing the postwar networks that protected Nazi war criminals — and the powerful American families who still benefit from that protection today. Days after going public, he's dead.
Journalist Paul Ramirez doesn't believe the official story. Following the trail Kevin left behind, he uncovers evidence linking a billionaire industrialist and the President's chief of staff to a secret that was supposed to die in 1945. As Paul races to verify the truth before he becomes the next casualty, he learns that some conspiracies don't end with history — they just find new ways to survive it.
Jose A. Martinez is the author of The Reich Brief, a thriller about what happens when an old secret refuses to stay filed away. He's drawn to stories where ordinary people stumble into extraordinary danger simply by asking one question too many.
