Blood Pact

A kidnapped girl. An impenetrable fortress. Sounds like a job for Breed.

Keen to discover what she knows about a looming conspiracy, Breed and Stein plan to question German cabaret performer Käthe Ziegler in New York.

Their plan is derailed when Käthe is kidnapped by a team of professionals. They want her and a piece of jewelry she's been hiding — an ancient gold seal she stole from the most dangerous man in Europe.

Karl Graf is Germany's Vice-Chancellor, the head of a secret society of senior politicians and industrialists, and a man with a plan to reshape the continent. He wants his seal back. He wants Käthe back. And he's prepared to kill anyone who gets in his way.

Breed and Stein discover that Kathe has been taken to a castle high in the Bavarian Alps. Against all odds, they climb to the fortress, which sits atop a lethal three-thousand -foot peak.

Inside, they find Käthe, Graf, and the truth about an eighty-year-old conspiracy that began in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany and ends — in a bloody climax — on Christmas Eve.
