Thriller

Millionaire Victor Danemore, living on the French Riviera, dies suddenly of a heart attack. His secretary, Dave Bishop, wants to know more about his employer's life. Surprisingly, not even his young wife knows anything about her husband's background or how he earned his fortune. Clues lead Bishop to Vienna and Stockholm, where he learns that Danemore was blackmailing people who cooperated with the Nazis during World War II.

VIBE

A shadowy, post-war mystery unfolds with a sense of creeping dread. It feels like uncovering buried secrets in dimly lit European cities, where every conversation is a potential trap and trust is a dangerous luxury.
