About this listen
‘Heartrending . . . An engrossing read’ FINANCIAL TIMES
SEVENTEEN YEARS AFTER THE FALL OF THE THIRD REICH
Max Weill has never forgotten the face of Otto Schramm, a doctor who worked with Mengele on appalling experiments and who sent Max’s family to the gas chambers.
A NAZI WAR CRIMINAL WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD
When Schramm escaped to South America after the war, Max swore to one day bring him back to Germany to stand trial. With his life now nearing its end, he asks his nephew Aaron Wiley – a CIA desk analyst – to capture the doctor.
AND THE ROGUE CIA AGENT ON HIS TRAIL
In Buenos Aires, and unable to distinguish allies from enemies, Aaron must test the boundaries of his own personal morality and ultimately decide: how far is he prepared to go to render justice?

'The perfect combination of intrigue and accurate history brought to life' Alan Furst

Well presented, but faded......
Good basic plot, fairly absorbing but ending was dragged out too much. Last one third didn’t work well for me. Just faded into unlikely complexity.

Gripping and extremely well written
A suspenseful and wrenching novel, perfectly narrated by Jonathan Davis.
Joseph Kanon's storytelling is masterful, and the dialogue of his characters is believable, clever and intriguing.
I was dragged into this novel almost immediately and was mesmerised by the story from beginning to end.

Just not my cup of tea
I found the story fairly predictable. The only surprising thing about the romance was that he never questioned his deception. The story was shallow and I don’t find action as gripping in a book as on the screen, so it didn’t work for me.
