A Time for Vengeance
by Geoffrey OsborneFate catches up to former Nazis in a Cold War thriller that “weaves a wonderful tapestry of twists and deceits” (Tom Kasey, author of Cold Kill). Erich Mueller knows it isn’t a coincidence that his old colleague Gerhard Kohner should show up, after all these years, just as the Israelis find him. The two were once loyal Nazis and former SS men and their hunters are intelligence operatives, sent to South America to capture them. Staring at a photo of the pair—taken in secret—the director of Britain’s Special Security (Operations) Section immediately recognizes them. Kohner and Mueller once tortured him but he managed to escape. However, many others—mainly Jewish men and women—weren’t so lucky. To add to present matters, a new conspiracy orchestrated by East Germany threatens to destabilize the world—a plan with Kohner at the helm. He needs Mueller, who is apparently key to the plot: There’s important information locked up in that old Nazi’s head. The Special Security team must capture Mueller alive before it’s too late, and the cunning director already has a plan in mind . . . Meanwhile, the clock is ticking as with every passing hour, Kohner is torturing Mueller within an inch of his life to give up what he knows. And with Mueller, his one weakness—his wife—might be what finally pushes him over the edge.
