Title : The Night of the Generals - Hans Hellmut Kirst - book

Summary :

Warsaw, 1942. Major Grau of the military police investigates the murder of a Polish prostitute. A witness claims the murderer was wearing a German general's uniform. Grau soon identifies three suspects, three generals. The first, cruel and fanatical, is totally devoted to the Führer. The second is an opportunistic aristocrat. The third belongs to the small group that will decide to assassinate Hitler during Operation Valkyrie.
1944. In Paris, where Grau has been transferred, while the failed assassination attempt on Hitler's life is causing unrest among the Nazis, a new murder of a woman is committed that bears a striking resemblance to the one in Warsaw.
Dresden, 1956. A third assassination brings the three generals back into focus. Fourteen years after the investigation began, the net is finally closing in on the culprit.
A dizzying plunge into the darkness of Nazism, The Night of the Generals was a huge international success upon its release in 1962 – as was the film it inspired, starring Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif and Philippe Noiret.
