✨ Blurb

Austria, 1946. In a remote hunting lodge hidden deep in the forests of a shattered Europe, two men face each other across a kitchen table. One is a fugitive Nazi. The other has come to bring him to justice. Between them lies a gun and the ghosts of a war that refuses to die.

As captor and captive trade stories, truth and deceit entwine. Their recollections span a continent in flames, from the Blitz to Monte Cassino, from the Eastern Front to the chaos of a death march.

But not everything is as it seems. As the day unfolds, hidden identities, forbidden love, and long-buried betrayals begin to surface, forcing each man to confront not only the other, but himself.

A powerful and compelling historical thriller, Martin’s Eyes explores the lingering shadows of war and asks a haunting question: in a world shaped by conflict, is anyone truly guilt free?
