Die schwarze Windmühle

English countryside, late spring. A child's scream. An espionage expert finds his son held hostage. The demand: a king's ransom in jewels. Mistrust multiplies as he cuts ties with allies to deliver the prize himself. Siegel's lesser-known thriller offers clean lines and dark corners.
