Synopsis

Brimming with surprising characters, chilling political revelations, and a heartpounding climax, The Nazi Hunter is a thrilling debut and an actionpacked story (Jewish Book World). A gripping thriller, The Nazi Hunter mixes fierce partisan Washington politics, the search for exNazi criminals, and a crazed, rightwing militia intent on bringing down the government. Nicknamed the Nazi Hunter, Marek Cain, deputy director of the Office of Special Investigations at the Justice Department, has for ten years been the point man for tracking down exNazis who have fraudulently entered the United States since World War II and bringing them to justice. Late one afternoon, a distraught German woman eludes security and slips into Cains office. I have documents, she says, important documents only for the Nazi Hunter. She promises to bring them the next day. When she doesnt show, he dismisses her as just another crackpot. But when he reads in the Washington Post the next morning that the woman has been brutally murdered, he senses hes on to something big. He must find those documents. The trail leads from Washington to Florida, to Boston, to Germany and Ukraine, and eventually to the Belzec extermination camp in Poland, where half a million Jews were murdered in the winter of 1942. The Nazi Hunter is a thriller that combines romance, political intrigue, music, religion, and culture. Meticulously researched, it takes the reader on an intellectual journey into the seamy side of Washington, the heart of darkness in Europe and the lair of Americas fascist militias. Nobody who reads it will fail to be entertained, amused, and profoundly moved.

Goodreads review by Sandy on May 15, 2009

I really enjoyed this book and I didn't expect to. I read it for a book club and the title alone put me off but it was quite a page turner and I hated to see it end. It's a quick read and while the content is somewhat upsetting, the story line of the main character and his family and lovelife are up......more
