“Absolutely compelling. A totally engrossing thriller.”– Thomas Keneally, author of “Schindler’s List”.
“Masterfully done. A powerful novel.”– Publishers Weekly.
At a Nazi concentration camp in Poland, the strangled body of an informer is discovered by the Jewish mistress of the camp commandant. Then an SS lieutenant is found, throat cut ear to ear.
The Gestapo orders the Berlin Criminal Police to solve these crimes.
The hunter is Paul Bach, Chief Homicide Inspector, a widower and wounded combat veteran of the Russian Front, a man at odds with war and Nazi evil. And the hunted is ”the Angel,” a killer who always leaves a clue in the form of a note. As Paul Bach closes in on his target, this daring and unusual novel offers an answer to the question all supposedly decent men and women at some time must ask themselves: “In the early 1940s, if I had been a German and unaware, and then realized what was happening, what would I have done?”
“Exciting, dynamic, and marvelously written.”– Bestsellers.
