Book Overview

"CHILLING. . . TAUT SUSPENSE.
--The Boston Globe
Berlin, 1943. Few saw his face; none knew his name. In whispered circles he was known only as Der Schattenmann, a merciless catcher for the Nazis who was always there, smiling, when the trains took you away to Auschwitz. . . .
"A FIRST-CLASS THRILLER. . . A MASTERPIECE OF DETECTIVE SUSPENSE."--The Toronto Star
Miami Beach, present day. Retired homicide detective Simon Winter's lonely life takes an urgent turn when his terrified neighbor appears at his door. She has seen a ghost in the flesh, a demon from her past--Der Schattenmann. The next morning, Sophie is found strangled, her eyes locked open in terror.
"GRIPPING . . . CHILLINGLY FRIGHTENING . . . HARD TO PUT DOWN."--The Miami Herald
The police think it's just another homicide. But Winter knows the horrifying truth: an elusive killer is stalking Holocaust survivors in Miami. Now, after years of retirement, Winter must match wits with a sadistically smooth expert on death who lives for the thrill of the hunt, tortures for the rush of power, and murders to keep himself, and his history, hidden forever. . . .

Excellent

This is the first book I have read by Katzenbach and I was very impressed. His characters literally jumped off the page and their voices were distinct. This is the first book I have ever read that made me want to turn back to page one and read it all over again as soon I was finished with it. I can't wait to read more of his work.

Better than I thought it'd be!

When I first started this book I thought it would be something which progressed slowly. But I turned out to be wrong! I wouldn't call it fast paced but once you've started reading, you'll find it's hard to put down. The story-line was easy to follow and it was intresting, which is a very important part. However, I spotted a few mistakes in the spoken German at the beginning, eg. 'Vas'. I am learning German and know it should be spelt 'was'. Don't let this small mistake discourage you from reading such a good book though.

A thriller, gripping

This Book is a definate page turner. Each chapter is full of exitment and intrige. I recomend it to any one who likes thrilling books.

Excellent story.

This is a great book. I have no clue what book the guy that gave this a '2' read, but it wasn't this one. Anyone I know that read this book really loved it. It is fun to read from start to finish. Just a neat story that is a pleasure to read. Not brilliant writing, just great story telling. The thought of a Nazi war criminal back to kill more is mind blowing. If you love thrillers, WWII novels, history, or can relate to the subject, you should read this book.

a "can't put down the book, book"

A fast paced thriller with enough facts to keep with reality. For anyone who enjoys WWII fiction such as WINTER, THE BERKUT, etc, will appreciate this book
