The Bach Motif Glenn Imobersteg

In 1961 an inexperienced President Kennedy, still reeling from a failed Cuban invasion and the rise of the Berlin Wall, confronts the hardline Nikita Khrushchev and the Soviet Army on the border to East Berlin. During the tense standoff, a young girl escapes to the West carrying a deadly secret: a list of Nazi scientists working in the US Space Program. Their identities are encrypted in a musical composition that can only be deciphered with the 'The Bach Motif', a key from a composer who died in 1750. Together with the son of an American intelligence officer, the couple elude the Russians, the East German Secret Police, and an American double agent in a deadly race through the streets of the city Khrushchev calls "the most dangerous place on earth." Finally escaping through the Iron Curtain to the West, they are relentlessly pursued by a Nazi assassin with orders to retrieve the list-at any cost.
