He's hunting me, and there's nowhere to run. East Berlin, 1963. I thought I understood the consequences of trying to flee to the West. Death. Imprisonment without trial. Instead I'm being hunted by the most dangerous man in the city, secret police officer Reinhardt Volker. Now I'm his prize, no longer a traitorous factory girl but his elegant and pampered secretary. He wants to possess me, body, soul - and heart. I'll do anything to get away from him, but first that means getting closer. I want to feel only hatred for my captor but beneath his uniform I discover a man with a past as scarred as Berlin's. And if I don't escape him soon it will be too late.
