Spring 1973. As the Cold War tightens its grip on Europe, a secret alliance is forged between East Germany's STASI and O.D.E.S.S.A., the underground Nazi network working toward the resurrection of a Fourth Reich. Orchestrated in the shadows by the KGB, the plan is bold and deadly: a coordinated attack on Israel from both outside and within-carried out by Arab armies, backed by Soviet support, and fueled by weapons trafficked through neo-Nazi operatives. In East Berlin, behind the crumbling fa ade of a fading dictatorship, Rita Ritter-a Jewish antiques dealer and the longtime lover of a senior STASI officer-uncovers the conspiracy. Haunted by her childhood in a concentration camp and disillusioned by the regime's lies, she risks everything to reach Mossad, offering explosive intelligence in exchange for safe passage to the West. The mission falls to Leonard Walder, a former Israeli agent now living a quiet life as an antiques dealer in West Germany. Under the pretense of attending a rare book and art fair in East Berlin, Walder makes contact with Rita-and what he learns threatens to shake the fragile balance of the Middle East. What follows is a tense, high-risk operation to extract her from deep within the DDR, across one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world. With help from the CIA, a professional smuggler, and old Cold War tradecraft, Walder is drawn back into a world he thought he'd left behind-where the ghosts of Nazism, Soviet ambition, and Israeli survival intersect. Set against a vividly recreated 1970s backdrop-from Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Obersalzberg to the shadowed squares of East Berlin, from Budapest to Bonn-Codename Obersalzberg blends historical accuracy with gripping espionage to deliver a thriller steeped in paranoia, betrayal, and the lingering shadows of World War II.
