In 1944, news of secret diaries kept by Italy's Foreign Minister, Galeazzo Ciano, had permeated public consciousness.

Drawing from in-depth research and first-person interviews with people who witnessed these events, Tilar J. Mazzeo gives readers a riveting look into this little-known moment in history and shows how, without Edda, Hilde and Frances' involvement, certain convictions at Nuremberg would never have been possible.

Tracking others who might have had reason to hate Gurtner, Giuliana and Renzo find themselves once again dealing with their attraction to one another and their ambivalence about having an affair.
