Book description
Paul Schumann is a mobster hitman known equally for his brilliant
tactics and for taking only 'righteous' jobs. When a hit goes wrong
and Schumann is nabbed, he's offered a stark choice. He can travel to
Berlin and kill the man behind Hitler's rearmament scheme, and walk
free forever. Or be sent to the electric chair.
The instant Paul sets foot in Berlin, his mission goes awry. For 48
hours, as the city prepares for the coming Olympics, Schumann stalks
Reinhardt Ernst while a dogged criminal police officer and the entire
Third Reich apparatus search frantically for the American.
Danger and betrayal lurk everywhere. It's a cat-and-mouse chase, with
Schumann both cat and mouse, and a man who thinks he has nothing to lose…
Packed with fascinating period detail and featuring a cast of
perfectly realised characters, GARDEN OF BEASTS delivers breathtaking
action, a wrenching look at Nazi-era Berlin, and Jeffery Deaver's most
stunning series of surprises yet.
