Reseña: En el Berlín de 1943 pocos vieron su cara y nadie supo su nombre. Entre susurros era conocido como Der Schattenmann La Sombra un despiadado delator judío que colaboraba con la Gestapo. En el Berlín de 1943 nadie conocía el nombre de La Sombra. Pero ser visto por este judío despiadado era sinónimo de muerte: colaboraba con la Gestapo en la identificación y delación de otros ciudadanos judíos para condenarlos a los campos de exterminio. En el Miami de finales del siglo XX la deprimente vida de Simon Winter - retirado de la Brigada de Homicidios de la Policía- da un giro inesperado cuando su aterrorizada vecina llama a la puerta de su apartamento. Sophie superviviente del Holocausto cree haber visto a La Sombra. A la mañana siguiente aparece estrangulada con los ojos desorbitados de terror. La policía supone que se trata de un asesinato más pero Winter sabe la terrible verdad: un escurridizo asesino está eliminando a los supervivientes del Holocausto que viven en Miami. Tras años de retiro Simon debe vérselas con un experto y sádico exterminador que pretende mantener su historia oculta para siempre.
