DESCRIPTION:
DWN said Deaver can really be scary. This book is very upsetting not so much because of when it was written but when I read it. To be repeatedly reminded of how many "Good Germans" there were and how effective Goebbels was in pre-war Germany as Donald Trump begains his reign here in America is just plain scary. The story and character development are vintage Deaver even if the setting (the 19Deaver can really be scary This book is very upsetting not so much because of when it was written but when I read it. To be repeatedly reminded of how many "Good Germans" there were and how effective Goebbels was in pre-war Germany as Donald Trump begains his reign here in America is just plain scary. The story and character development are vintage Deaver even if the setting (the 1936 Olympics) is unconventional.. 6 Olympics) is unconventional.. A true, you are there, story of how the Nazis hid their murderous and criminal goals from a civilized world This turned out to be one of my top 20 books.When an intelligent, principled, but essentially unprepared man is sent to Gremany as America's ambassador because nobody else wanted the job, we can see, through contemporary writings why it was so easy for outsiders to admire the rise of the Hitler gang.This book is about the gradual dawning on the Ambassador's family that there was a dark and terrible side to the the law and order regulations of the new Nazi regime.

Either go to jail for life or help his country. The Colonel wants Schumann to pose as a member of the Olympic team, travel to Berlin and assassinate him.. Paul Schumann is a German-American living in Brooklyn in 1938 and a hitman for the mob. When he is arrested he is taken to an unnamed Colonel in intelligence and given a choice
Deaver's novel, equal parts noir thriller and historical extrapolation, is a page-turner that offers a twisting visceral experience of the tension in Berlin during that fateful summer. But the jig is up when he is duped by high-ranking feds who give him a choice--prison or one more impossible job: assassinate the man who's running Hitler's plan for rearming Germany. As the intricate chase wears on, both men will discover that the greatest evil is the ascendant Nazi party. Into this mix, Deaver drops his coldly dangerous hitman who brawls with brownshirts, chums with Olympic athletes, collaborates with criminals, fraternizes with poets, and discovers the hero inside his hardened soul. --Jeremy Pugh Interview When starting a new book by author Jeffery Deaver, expect to have the wool pulled over your eyes. He draws sympathetic portraits of everyd
