Synopsis

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Penn Cage series comes a heartstopping thriller about one of the great unsolved mysteries of World War II.
 
The Spandau Diary—what was in it? Why did the secret intelligence agencies of every major power want it? Why was a brave and beautiful woman kidnapped and sexually tormented to get it? Why did a chain of deception and violent death lash out across the globe, from survivors of the Nazi past to warriors in the new conflict now about to explode? Why did the world’s entire history of World War II have to be rewritten as the future hung over a nightmare abyss?

“Entirely plausible, totally engrossing...a remarkable, impressive novel.”—Nelson DeMille 

“An incredible web of intrigue and suspense, an avalanche of action from first page to last.”—Clive Cussler

From AudioFile:

After the last prisoner, "Number Seven" dies, Spandau Prison is in Western Germany is destroyed, but not before a secret diary written by Prisoner Seven is discovered by a German policeman. This diary is sought by the Germans, the Russians, the British, and a neo-Nazi group seeking to create a Fourth Reich. Dick Hill brings diverse characters to life, including Thomas Horn, who might have been Rudolf Hess; police officers; Israeli spies; members of the South African military; and a host of others. The abridgment lacks the depth of the novel, but brings the underlying mystery to the fore. Hill conveys the fear, ruthlessness, and single-mindedness of a dangerous secret society and those it hunts. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
