A real page-turner that links the evil of the past from the Third Reich to present day terrorists. What makes this book so terrifying and realistic is that author LeBeau is a retired clandestine operations officer in the CIA and is now a professor of National Security Studies at a college in Garmisch, Germany, so he is incredibly knowledgeable about the both subject matter and the area in which the story takes place. (Note: John LeBeau is my second cousin.)

It’s been quite a while since I read a mystery novel or a thriller. I was hoping for this to be action-packed or at least be a quick read where I’ll be flipping through the pages to know what’s next. However, it was quite slow in the beginning and slower in the middle. The process of Robert unraveling the mystery of the murder case seemed never-ending. Only towards the end of the story did the real action begin.
Good read. A little creepy as the topic is terrorism, but moved fast.
