Synopsis

The Fourth Reich is waiting to arise—and the only man who can stop it is about to sign its birth certificate. In 1945 the children of the Third Reich were secretly hidden all over the world, to be concealed until they came of age in the 1970s, at which point $780 million would be waiting in a Swiss bank. But all of these elaborate plans need an unsuspecting outsider to set them in motion: Noel Holcroft, the American son of a high-ranking Nazi officer. He has just been shown an incredible document known as the Holcroft Covenant. If he signs, he will inadvertently deal a serious blow to an already fragile world—and authorize his own death warrant.

Scroll down for the English version. Un’eredità maledetta Sebbene si tratti dell’ennesima storia di un complotto nazista ambientato decenni dopo la fine del Nazismo, questo romanzo di Ludlum sa essere originale e intrigante.

Goodreads review by Christian on May 02, 2017

Classic, old-school Robert Ludlum thriller about a sinister plot to financially resurrect the Fourth Reich, and how the protagonist and title character, Noel Holcroft, is an unwitting dupe for most of the storyline, as the villains, through an elaborate ruse, trick Holcroft into thinking that the mo......more

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great book by Ludlum. This book for me rates right up there with Bourne Identity and Supremacy. Covenant is a fantastic read.

Goodreads review by Roderick on December 21, 2013

The Holcroft Covenant was the first Ludlum book I ever read, that being on its first publication in 1978.
