Description

A secret that must never be revealed. . . . An evil never meant to be repeated. . . . Seventy years ago, the greatest crime against humanity was committed. Today it's only a heartbeat away from happening again. In Paraguay, an elderly businessman kills himself. In Berlin, a neo-Nazi is gunned down in the street. Trying to connect the murders, intelligence agent Joe Volkmann, aided by a beautiful young German journalist, travels to Paraguay and discovers a clue--the charred remains of an old show more black-and-white photograph in a remote jungle house. A photograph that holds the first key to an extraordinary secret--and a plot to create the Fourth Reich. Volkmann soon uncovers that a string of bizarre killings around the world are all linked by a single purpose. And he also discovers that the journalist he trusted, Erica Kranz, is somehow linked to the plan. Haunted by the ghosts of the past, and desperate to unearth an extraordinary secret, Volkmann and Kranz are plunged into a dangerous world of terrorism, fanaticism, and deception as they stare true evil in the face. show less

This is a story that could mimic the events of today. It is a very fast and enjoyable read, the book was a good historical conspiracy thriller. It had a good storyline and I loved the characters. This is my second Glenn Meade book and there will be many more.
Thanks to Net Galley and Howard Books.

At first I thought it was a little dry, but after reading into the book (like a quarter of the way in) the plot thickened and I read it with much anticipation. Definitely one of my favorite books of all time.
De veiligheidsdienst van de Europese Unie denkt dat er een verband bestaat tussen de drie ogenschijnlijk op zichzelf staande gebeurtenissen. En de nationalistische gevoelens die in het herenigd Duitsland na vijftig jaar weer de kop opsteken doen het ergste vermoeden: een complot - gesmeed in Zuid-Amerika - om Europa onder te dompelen in dezelfde nachtmerrie van een halve eeuw geleden.
De dienst stuurt zijn agent Joseph Volkmann naar Paraguay met de opdracht achter de identiteit van de samenzweerders en hun Europese connecties te komen. De vondst van een huis in de jungle van Paraguay van een gedeeltelijk verbrande foto is de aanwijzing die Joseph naar de identiteit van de samenzweerders kan leiden maar ook tot zijn eigen dood....
