À propos de cet audio
Pharmacology professor Miklos Rosen (now Michael Ross) retires from the world of academia in 1970 and opens a community pharmacy in a peaceful upstate New York town. He puts the horrific tragedies of his past behind him and finds serenity in his new life. That is, until he recognizes a customer as former Nazi SS officer Hans Stern. Michael looks into Stern's cold steel-blue eyes, clenches his fists and boils inside, remembering how his three young daughters were taken from him and gassed, and his wife, Ilona, was tortured, raped, and stripped of all dignity by Stern 25 years earlier in Auschwitz. Face to face with this evil being, Michael forces himself to stay calm. In that moment, he experiences two opposing but related feelings. One is anger, the other exhilaration. He could not protect his family then, but he can avenge their deaths now. It wasn't just about killing Stern. That would be too easy. His death had to be slow, painful, and diabolical, and it begins with a game of chess with Stern as the unwilling pawn.

"Due to my love of thrillers embossed with real world possibilities, I purchased this book based on the intriguing premise. Now, after consuming the material over a nice quiet weekend, I can happily attest that it was a superb read. Dr. Ross is a gravitating protagonist due to the conflict of his character. For the author to tailor him as a healer, only for opposing actions to arise, sets the book up for an elucidating psychological study as well. I at once sympathized with him and questioned what I would have done in the same situation once he meets Hans and begins to slowly unravel the moral fibers that were so adhered to in his life prior. Also, the story begins in a fascinating manner during WWII; vividly foreshadowing events to come. That’s one of my favorite aspects of this author’s writing. It is a complicated and illuminating character study swathed inside a unique tale that traverses the line between justice and vengeance. If anyone else is looking for a stellar novel that knows how to keep you entertained and piqued throughout, you definitely can’t do better than this one. I, for one, can’t wait to read more from this talented author." (E.A. Gray)
