A psychological thriller of unremitting power – in theme unlike anything Frank Delaney has written before – the spellbinding tale of modern murders that lead back fifty years to forgotten Nazi atrocities.
Nicholas Newman, a successful English architect, is deep in mourning for his murdered lover Madeleine when a series of unexplained attacks almost kills him. In hospital, he is approached by Lukas Waterman, Madeleine’s longtime secret protector, who forces him to read a document about a forgotten Nazi project, the Family Institute – and thus to relive the horrors of a psychological experiment in which Jewish families, including Madeleine’s, were destroyed from the inside.
As Newman is caught up in the increasingly violent events surrounding the few survivors of the experiment – known as the Amethysts – he begins an odyssey of terror and self-discovery that may ultimately lead to redemption... or death.
