Robert and Marianne Newton die within minutes of each other: he is killed on his doorstep, she is hit by a speeding car in broad daylight. Gideon Smith - the only witness - remembers nothing. Torsten Neubauer - a detective from Berlin - looks where his British colleagues dare not. He uncovers corruption reaching to the very top of government, a plot that is to end in a coup, and a man who slays his victims with cursed bullets. Gideon Smith holds the key to a mystery he doesn't understand, despite the dead rising to explain it. Only he stands between a mad man and the end of the world. After a gap of ten years, Heart is available again.
