But everything is about to change when she meets world-famous designer Helena Krieger. When Krieger, who is also a Holocaust survivor, reveals that a Nazi war criminal might still be alive, Rachel feels compelled to uncover the truth. Gerhardt Dreschler, one of the Reich’s loyal tyrants, has been spotted in Vienna. Now as Rachel sets out on a quest to find the war criminal and bring him to justice, she must also conquer her inner demons as her path leads her to places she never imagined.
