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. Praise for Ira Levin: ´Levin is the Swiss watchmaker of the suspense novel´ Stephen King
