Forced to abandon his investigation into her disappearance, following his death, the baton is taken up by his nephew, Rex, a freelance journalist. After reading the dossier left by his late uncle, intrigued by his belief that Anna Traube was part of a conspiracy surrounding Hitler’s death, he decides to investigate her disappearance himself.

Arriving in Magdeburg, the city where Anna had lived at the beginning of the war, he discovers that she has a daughter, Lotte. Deserted at birth and desperate to find the mother she had never known, she persuades him to let her join him on his hunt for her missing mother. A quest which will take them across Europe to South America and a meeting with a woman long thought to be dead. A woman who is harbouring a terrifying secret; Hitler had fathered a child.

Barry Cole was born in Yorkshire and after leaving the army he began contributing stories and articles to the monthly magazines of two Native American charities. With a love of film, he then studied for two years at the London Screenwriters Workshop. His first book, The Time Bandit was published in 2016, followed by a historical novel Shingas a few months later. His third book The Conquistadors Horse was published in 2018 and has been optioned as a short film by Looking Window Pictures. His latest book The Letter, which was inspired by the Battle of Stalingrad was published by Michael Terence Publishing in 2021. After living on a narrowboat for several years he has now returned to his roots in North Yorkshire. The idea for his latest book: A New Beginning came from a short screenplay written while studying at the Screenwriters Workshop which he now plans to re-write as a feature. For those who may be interested, the principal character is named after the author's great-uncle, Albert Edward Clemens who died in August 1915 during the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign. Although the only thing they have in common is that both were soldiers his inclusion in the book is to celebrate the family's ancestral connection with one of America’s greatest writers Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain).
