Spring 1943.
Following a string of successful counter-attacks by the Partisans led by General Tito - and spearheaded by his English lieutenant, Tony Davis, and Tony’s beautiful French mistress, Sandrine - the Nazis determine to exterminate them for good.
Appointed to the overall command is Tony’s old enemy, SS General Fritz Wassermann, who is determined to avenge past defeats and the wound that has left him a cripple.
Wassermann’s offensive drives the Partisans into headlong retreat, and the pregnant Sandrine is captured.
But the tide of war turns, and rearmed and reinforced, the Partisans stage a comeback in conjunction with the Russian advance into the Balkans.
The question now is, can Tony reach Belgrade in time to save Sandrine from the gallows?
The Killing Ground is the thrilling fourth book in the Balkan Saga , filled with action and adventure that will keep you gripped until the very end.
