As hunger grips the Warsaw ghetto, is a cannibal loose on the streets?

January 1943. Warsaw. City of the dead. In the ghetto, the last fifty thousand Jews await their fate, but, unlike those who preceded them to the death camps, these Jews are prepared to fight. Jan Kalisz, Kripo investigator and Resistance double-agent, has promised to supply them with weapons. But how will he fulfil his vow?

The murder of a German officer appears to provide an opportunity. For the victim is a man with multiple identities and one of those is a wealthy ghetto Jew. The hunt for the murderer draws Kalisz into the chaos of the ghetto, only to find a new, perilous mission awaiting him. SS death squads are not the only enemy the Jews fear. Can Kalisz catch the killer known as The Cannibal before he strikes again?

With time running out, it becomes a question of survival amid the blazing ghetto ruins as the Nazis make their final attack.

The chilling second thriller in the Warsaw Quartet by Douglas Jackson, perfect for readers of Simon Scarrow and Chris Lloyd.
