Die Spinne - the spider is all that remains of Nazi Europe, a ruthlessly efficient, secret organisation helping wanted war criminals to escape. Among them Dr Karl Besser, once the butcher of Auschwitz, is fleeing to South America with his wife and two sons.

Others are on the move too. Thousands of Jews who survived the holocaust are slipping out of the refugee camps to make for Israel, the Promised Land. Both groups, if they are to avoid capture, need a refuge, a safe house. Inevitably their underground routes overlap.

And so it is that Dr Karl Besser comes face to face with a beautiful Jewess whose mother he sent to the gas chamber.
