Roman policier. Roman historique.
Après Le Diable dans la Ville blanche, Erik Larson nous offre un superbe thriller politique et d'espionnage, fondé sur des événements réels et peu connus qui se sont déroulés en Allemagne pendant l'accession au pouvoir d'Adolf Hitler. 1933. Berlin. William E. Dodd devient le premier ambassadeur américain en Allemagne nazie. Sa fille, la flamboyante Martha, est vite séduite par les leaders du parti nazi et leur volonté de redonner au pays un rôle de tout premier plan sur la scène mondiale. Elle devient ainsi la maîtresse de plusieurs d'entre eux, en particulier de Rudolf Diels, premier chef de la Gestapo, alors que son père, très vite alerté des premiers projets de persécution envers les Juifs, essaie de prévenir le département d'Etat américain, qui fait la sourde oreille. Lorsque Martha tombe éperdument amoureuse de Boris Winogradov, un espion russe établi à Berlin, celui-ci ne tarde pas à la convaincre d'employer ses charmes et ses talents au profit de l'Union soviétique. Tous les protagonistes de l'histoire vont alors se livrer un jeu mortel, qui culminera lors de la fameuse "Nuit des longs couteaux."
