The Nuremberg Endgame
In the aftermath of the most devastating conflict in human history, the horrors of war have left an indelible mark on the world's conscience. In 1940, the chilling disappearance of thousands of Polish military officers, policemen, and intellectuals foreshadowed a monstrous atrocity that would shock the world. April 1943 unveils a gruesome truth buried deep in the Katyn Forest of the Soviet Union—eight massive graves, a stark testament to the scale of the atrocity.
As Europe struggles to rebuild in the wake of war, August 1945 brings Lieutenant Colonel Doug Walters to the forefront of a new battleground—justice. An American lawyer, he is tasked with investigating and building war crimes cases against the Nazis at the historic Nuremberg Trials. But justice knows no boundaries, and the pursuit of truth has a way of transcending borders.
Walters' relentless pursuit of evidence leads him on a perilous journey across occupied Germany, where he seeks an elusive Polish massacre witness. In this post-war landscape, where the past's sins loom large, he becomes entangled in a web of mystery and danger.
For Doug Walters, truth is the only compass, and justice is the ultimate destination. Yet, he unwittingly becomes a pawn in a global political game. The fragile post-war alliance between the Soviets, Americans, and British teeters on the brink of collapse, and the truth he seeks has the power to reshape the world order.
"The Nuremberg Endgame" is a gripping tale of relentless determination and moral reckoning, set against the backdrop of a world still reeling from the horrors of war. As Doug Walters races against time, he must confront the shadows of the past and navigate the treacherous terrain of post-war diplomacy.

About the author
Brian Walker
8 books2 followersFrom an early age, I was drawn to books. When my parents took me to the shopping mall, they’d drop me off at the bookstore and return hours later to find me still wandering the aisles, lost in pages. At my grandmother’s house, I was captivated by her set of World Book Encyclopedias—each visit meant pulling a new volume off the shelf and discovering something I hadn’t known before. It was clear even then: I had a deep love for reading.
Over the years, that love turned into a passion for collecting and devouring books, especially in the realms of history, historical fiction, and thrillers. For a long time, I carried story ideas in my head, unsure if I’d ever write them down. Eventually, I found the courage to begin—transforming scattered thoughts into pages, and pages into stories. Writing became not just a creative outlet, but a natural extension of the curiosity that started all those years ago in bookstores and encyclopedia pages.
I’ve had the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world and have lived and worked in several U.S. states, including Michigan, Illinois, Texas, and California. Beyond writing, my interests span the arts, sports, aviation, and education—each offering its own inspiration and perspective that continue to shape my work and worldview.

A definite page turner! .
Historical in nature but also a thriller. It's a very good read which takes you on adventure after adventure, not knowing when the next turn will take you.

Good story. Very poor editing. I almost stopped reading because of it.
