Review
McCarry's thrillers really thrill, his political insight is praised by senior politicians and his erudition, experience and good writing turn spy stories into literature. McCarry and his dynamic alter-egos wipe the floor with the opposition --Telegraph
For McCarry fans this story fills in some gaps in the career of one of espionage fiction's most interesting heroes. But you don't ned to be familiar with the characters to read this beautifully written book --Literary Review
Excrutiatingly tense ... The sheer ambition of McCarry's spy novels catapults him into the company of John Le Carre, Eric Ambler, Graham Greene and Alan Furst, but his stylish voice and historic scope make him unique --Los Angeles Times
Product Description
It is the late 1930s, and a young Christopher bears witness to an unspeakable atrocity committed by a remorseless SS officer. When the action moves forward to the height of the Cold War, the SS man emerges out of the ruins of post-war Germany to destroy the last living witness to his crime. It's a case of tiger chasing tiger as Christopher is pursued by the only man who can match his craft or his instincts. With ferocious suspense and masterful pacing, Charles McCarry delivers a haunting parable of a man confronted with the ghosts of an entire generation's brutal history.
