Buried deep within the shadows of a twelfth-century Saxoncastle lie secrets so disturbing they are best left unearthed.Only the inmates of Frauengefängnis Hoheneck [HoheneckWomen’s Prison] know the full story—but none of themare talking.Janek Dabrowski, scarred by war, grapples with an allconsumingobsession for revenge. And as the tides ofoppression shift from fascism to communism, so the Polishresistance fighter transforms his ardour into a thirst forpower within the East German secret police [the Stasi].His son Karl, raised under the stifling grip of communism,rejects his father’s ideology, and plans to escape with AnjaBach, the love of his life. This lays the groundwork for aconflict of monstrous betrayal, extraordinary courage, andenduring love.Half a world away, James Llewelyn, disillusioned by personaltragedy, reignites his passion after a chance encounterwith the beautiful but elusive Kimberly Wagner. Propelledinto a frantic pursuit of love, he unwittingly finds himselfentangled in a web of broken lives from which there is noescape but to face his ghosts of the past.What is it that binds these characters together?

And what is the secret that bothhorrifies and inspires?Set against the backdrops of snow-covered Polish fieldsand Cold War checkpoints, through to the beaches andboardrooms of Australia, The Angel of Hoheneck weavesa gripping tale of one man’s stark choices that impactgenerations and reverberate around the globe.
