Road to Ithaca

In May 1941, Abwehr officer Bora is sent to Crete, recently occupied by the Wehrmacht, and must investigate the brutal murder of a Red Cross representative befriended by SS-Chief Himmler. All the clues lead to a platoon of trigger-happy German paratroopers, but is this the truth?

Bora takes to the mountains of Crete to solve the case, navigating his way between local bandits and foreign resistance fighters. With echoes of Claus von Stauffenberg, Bora is torn between his duty as an officer and his integrity as a human being.


"THE ROAD TO ITHACA" is the fifth novel in the Martin Bora WWII mystery series.
