    Revealing the story of Germany through the inhabitants of one small wooden building: a nobleman farmer, a Jewish family, a renowned Nazi composer, a widow and her children, a Stasi informant, this book moves from the late nineteenth century to the present day, from the devastation of two world wars to the dividing and reuniting of a nation.

    From the Sunday Times bestselling author of HANNS AND RUDOLF, THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE and BLOOD ON THE PAGE, pre-order the gripping story of an unsolved triple-murder which took place against the extraordinary background of Nazi-occupied Florence during World War Two . . . __________Florence, August 1944. Fifteen miles south-east of the city, a unit of German soldiers arrive at Il Focardo, the home of Robert Einstein. Nearby, Robert is hiding out in the Tuscan countryside, while his wife and two daughters remain in the villa. The Germans knock hard. The owner of the house, Nina Einstein, answers the door. 'Where is your husband, Robert Einstein?', she is asked, 'Where is Robert Einstein, the first cousin of the world-famous Albert Einstein?'Twelve hours later, Nina, Luce and Anna-Maria are brutally murdered. The following day, British troops arrive in the area, pushing the German forces away from Florence to the north. A murder investigation is launched but the perpetrators never found. In The Einstein Vendetta, Thomas Harding recounts the story of an unthinkable crime, one that unspools to reveal Italy's brutal wartime history - its fall to fascism, antisemitism and bitter partisanship - and a family's search for justice. Vividly told, drawing on previously unpublished archival sources and first-hand accounts, Harding threads history and detective story to build an unquiet, haunting testimony. __________Praise for Thomas Harding:Hanns and Rudolf'A gripping thriller, an unspeakable crime, an essential history' John le Carré'Thomas Harding has shed intriguing new light on the strange poison of Nazism, and one of its most lethal practitioners...

I admire the elegance of it, the hope, the honesty and the generousness with which every resident is given his or her place.

It is a book that will stay with me for a very long time' Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry'A superb portrait of twentieth century Germany seen through the prism of a house which was lived in, and lost, by five different families. A remarkable book' Tom Holland, author of Rubicon

    It's a story that has been described in the press and by the leading detective (now retired) as the `greatest whodunnit' of recent years: an extraordinary tale of isolation, deception, espionage and brutal violence, stretching from the quiet streets of north London to the Palace of Westminster and beyond.
