In this classic thriller, Ira Levin imagines Dr Josef Mengele's nightmarish plot to restore the Third Reich. Alive and hiding in South America thirty years after the end of the Second World War, Mengele gathers a group of former colleagues for a sinister project — the creation of the Fourth Reich. Ageing Nazi hunter Yakov Lieberman is informed of the plot but before he hears the evidence, his source is killed. 

Spanning continents and inspired by true events, what follows is one of Levin's most masterful tales, both timeless and chillingly plausible.

In a Japanese restaurant in Säo Paulo, Brazil, a group of seemingly affable Germans are having dinner. In reality they are Dr. Josef Mengele, "the angel of Auschwitz," and six former SS men who are setting in motion a worldwide plan of assassination: 94 men in six western countries, with no apparent importance or connection to each other, will die according to a carefully timed schedule — unless Yakov Liebermann, an ageing Nazi hunter, can stop the slayings. Racing against time, Liebermann tries to determine the common denominator that has marked the victims for extinction: each man, he finds, has a much younger wife and a dark-haired, 12-year-old son .. . 

From this emerges a genetic plot with implications so devastating for the future of mankind, "you won't stop reading." Publishers
