A city on the brink of war. “An intelligent and moving novel about the heartbreaking human condition” (Alberto Manguel, author of The Library at Night). It’s Berlin, 1932.

Forced to lead a double life when her father and her boyfriend become Nazi collaborators, she reserves her dreams of becoming an actress for her beloved elderly neighbor, Isaac Zarco, and his friends, most of whom are Jews working against the government in a secret group called the Ring. When a member is sent to Dachau, she realizes there must be a Nazi traitor in the group . . . Through successive mysteries, reversals, and surprises—and a race against time—The Seventh Gate builds to a shattering end.
