In 1943, Edda, daughter of fascist leader Benito Mussolini, issues an ultimatum to the two most powerful men in Europe: her father and Hitler. She demands the release of her husband, former Italian Foreign Minister Galeazzo Ciano, who has been accused of treason. Edda's trump card is Ciano's diaries, which contain evidence of war crimes committed by the Third Reich's top brass. Now, Hitler and his cronies are prepared to do everything possible to destroy the papers, even if it means killing Edda. On the dictator's daughter's side are German intelligence officer Hilde Beetz and socialite Frances de Chalais, whose home in neutral Switzerland becomes the headquarters of a covert operation. Together, they play a dangerous game, risking everything for justice.

In her documentary thriller, Tilar Mazzeo reconstructs this dramatic episode of World War II minute by minute, drawing on archival documents and eyewitness accounts. This is a gripping spy novel and a cinematic story of love, risk and the inevitability of justice.
