__
Italy, Summer 1944
A unit of German soldiers arrives at a villa near Florence. Villa Il Focardo is home to Robert Einstein, cousin to the most famous scientist in the world, Albert Einstein - a prominent enemy of the Nazi regime. Having renounced his German citizenship a decade earlier, Albert's safely in America, well beyond Hitler's reach.
The same is not true for his cousin.
Twelve hours after arriving, the soldiers have vanished - and a family is dead. This crime - and what happened next - still haunts those who survived.
Who ordered it? Who was involved?
And why did they get away with it?
This is the untold story of the Einstein vendetta.
