Set in Germany and Britain from 1925 to 1945, Betrayal in Berlin surveys the tumultuous events of that period through the life of John Samson, a Physics postgraduate who wins a place at a prestigious Berlin University. This compelling story examines how far-right fanaticism and political duplicity impact ordinary lives. It questions why decent people sometimes act ruthlessly or against their own best interests, offering a poignant reflection on morality, love, and the search for atonement amidst chaos. After two psychological thrillers, Betrayal in Berlin represents a shift into historical fiction from Michael Shew. The allegorical story begins in 1925 in the Weimar Republic and follows the main protagonist through 1930s England and the Second World War
