This was a fascinating and intriguing historical thriller that kept me turning the pages. It is part pshychological and part suspense and very descriptive and detailed. It is superbly written.

This is another nonstop read by Jeffery Deaver. He placed the setting in 1936 during the Olympic Games. Then he tells the story of a hit man hired by highly placed leaders in the US to kill a high level member of Hitler's cabinet. The twists and turns never stop. Just when you think the killer is corner, he finds a way out just to get caught again.
This is one of the books you are still reading in the middle of the night.

A thriller set in 1936, the books focuses on a German American hitman living in New York. THings get really complicated when the government nails him and convinces him to work as a spy for them in Germany. Great read!

Having served in the Military, for two years, twenty years after the time that this book portrays, I read all books that pertain to that city. I was disappointed with this book. It was very wordy and tried to portray Berlin and the Tiergarten, where Hitler is supposed to have committed suicide. However, it was done piecemeal and didn't ring true to me. It came across to me more like made up fiction than rather than an attempt at being a historical novel.

German-American hitman Paul Schuman is on a Government mission that, if successfull, will spare him from the electric chairand could avert war in Europe.
A very well written and exciting spy-asssain tale. I was doubtful that I would enjoy this book and it turned out to be one of the best I have read. It reminded me of a Nelson Demille story.

My first Deaver novel and I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed the history part of the book. Lots of twists, great ending.

It started out in Berlin, 1936, as a hitman is supposed to kill Hitler's right hand man before WWII begins. The book starts off exciting, hits a slower pace, then the ending comes and you find out it is totally against what you were expecting.
