Synopsis/Details

In the chaos following World War II, one of the Third Reich’s most powerful men—Martin Bormann—vanished without a trace. Officially declared dead. Case closed.

But what if it wasn’t?

Decades later, a hardened investigator uncovers a classified file buried deep within government archives—evidence suggesting Bormann may have escaped Berlin and lived in the shadows, protected by a network willing to kill to keep the truth buried.

Driven by obsession and haunted by the weight of history, he follows a trail that stretches from the ruins of Nazi Germany to the back channels of South America and the hidden corridors of global intelligence. Each clue brings him closer—not just to Bormann—but to a conspiracy that reaches into powerful institutions that have long rewritten the past.

As bodies begin to fall and the truth becomes more dangerous than the lie, the investigation turns into a race against time. Because if Bormann is still alive—or if someone wants the world to believe he was—then exposing the truth could shatter everything we thought we knew about the end of the war.

The Borrman File is a tense, globe-spanning historical thriller in the vein of Munich, The Odessa File, and Oppenheimer—where the real weapon isn’t a gun… it’s the truth.
Inspired by one of history’s greatest unsolved mysteries, The Borrman File explores the decades-long speculation surrounding Martin Bormann’s fate—blending fact with cinematic suspense. In the vein of Munich, The Odessa File, and Oppenheimer, this is a gripping historical thriller where truth, power, and legacy collide.

The Writer: Gary Rose

I’m an multi-optioned screenwriter who, in a previous life, served as a police detective, mastering the delicate art of negotiating hostage situations. Retirement led me down a different path—teaching and writing—a journey that began with my first non-fiction book, which became an Amazon best-seller. That success ignited my passion for storytelling and introduced the world to my indomitable protagonist, FBI agent Jeannie Loomis. Believing that the ends justify the means, Jeannie has become the heart of a gripping 18-novel thriller series.
