Adam was wounded in the D- Day landings. He is now a lawyer working in 1946 in Hamburg, a city 80% destroyed by Allied bombing. He falls in love with the beautiful Rose, an aristocratic German girl struggling to survive in the ruined city by working in a brothel. Ernst Mann, the elderly doctor who shares Adam’s lodgings, is tormented by guilt brought on by his memories of the young Hitler. He also reveals the extraordinary story of Unity Mitford, who was Hitler’s lover and may have borne his child. Adam and Rose share a terrifying experience in the Dead City, the part of Hamburg so devastated by death and destruction that it is still cordoned off. But even back in his Cotswold village of Chipping-on-the-Fosse many years later, Adam cannot escape from the shadow of Hitler.
