The Death's Head Chess Club

Can you ever forgive the unforgivable? In 1962, Emil Clement comes face to face with Paul Meissner at a chess tournament in Holland. They haven't seen one another in almost two decades. Clement, once known only as The Watchmaker, is a Jewish former inmate of Auschwitz. Whilst there, he was forced to play chess against Nazi guards. If he won, he could save a fellow prisoner's life; if he lost, he would lose his own. Meissner, a soft-spoken priest, was also at Auschwitz. He was the SS Officer who forced The Watchmaker to play. . .
