The same historical intensity and credibility that he used in his tremendous debut thriller about a plot to kill Joseph Stalin (Snow Wolf, available in paperback) enliven Glenn Meade"s equally ingenious second novel. After the reunification of Germany, investigator Joe Volkmann shuttles back and forth between Berlin and South America in a search for murderous ex-Nazis. Volkmann"s probings reveal new information about many things--especially the strange sexual relationship between Adolf Hitler and his niece, Geli Raubal.
