Ashes in the Snow


Oriana Ramunno


A beautiful, moving detective story set in Auschwitz in the Christmas of 1943.


A young Jewish prisoner...

Auschwitz, 1943. It's snowing outside and Block 10 looks even bleaker than usual. Gioele Errera, a young Jewish boy imprisoned in the camp, finds the body of an SS officer.

A detective with everything to prove...

Hugo Fischer is sent to investigate the unexplained death of the renowned Nazi. But Hugo is hiding a secret - he is suffering from a degenerative disease. The only way for him to survive is to give his support to the Reich and hide his condition.

A confrontation with pure evil...
In Auschwitz, Hugo comes face to face not only with a complex murder, but with a truth - that of the Final Solution. And he is forced to decide what is most important to him - and who, if anyone, he should try to save...

ORIANA RAMUNNO (Melfi, 1980) lives in Berlin with her husband and three kids. Following a number of awarded crime novellas and short stories in various magazines, she pursued the writing of her debut thriller Ashes in the Snow inspired by the story of her grandfather, who was detained in the Flossenburg concentration camp. She dedicated this book to him, a book she describes as "the last act of love in a long journey".
