The story

The murder of a prostitute, who was also a German agent, in German-occupied Warsaw in 1942 causes Heer Major Grau of the Wehrmacht's Abwehr to start an investigation.

Grau's investigation is cut short by his sudden promotion and transfer to Paris at the instigation of these officers.

The city is a hotbed of intrigue, with senior Wehrmacht Heer officers of the Wehrmacht plotting to assassinate Hitler and overthrow the Nazi government.
