1944, Nazi Germany
The war is in its final hours. Three high-ranking Nazi officers, using secret orders from the desk of Herman Goering, execute a plan to purloin a fortune in confiscated diamonds.
Decades later, in a sleepy village near West Palm Beach, Florida, Moe Green, a retired octogenarian, seeks to determine the value of a German postage stamp he acquired during the war, given to him by a grateful young Holocaust survivor.
But when the stamp's existence srufaces on the Internet, blood flows.
The action moves rapidly from New York to Florida, London, Israel and France as Jake Green, the old man's son, is sucked into the vortex of an international scheme to locate the diamonds. Suddenly, Jake is tangling with an elusive and ruthless assassin, an ex-Nazi general whose real identity has long ago been erased, and a beautiful Israeli spy.
