A Booksense 76 Selection for September/October

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Fourth Procedure comes a riveting thriller about a deadly virus, born of the past that threatens to destroy the present. The Last Nazi seamlessly weaves genetics, terrorism and the very human struggle of right and wrong into a terrifying and unforgettable story.

Melissa Gale is an attractive, ambitious lawyer and investigator for the Office of Special Investigations, the Justice Department's "Nazi Hunters." Her quarry, known only by the name "Adalwolf", was the brilliant young protégé of Dr. Josef Mengele, the Butcher of Auschwitz. Presumed dead for almost 50 years, Adalwolf has suddenly reappeared in the United States to take the lives of three people in a chilling, unusual way.

Melissa stalks Adalwolf to bring him to justice only to discover that he is stalking her. She has something he wants: a personal medical history that holds the key to his plan for the ultimate crime. Using a deadly biological virus born of the genetic projects started in the Nazi labs, Adelwolf is about to unleash the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. Melissa Gale and the baby she is carrying could be the key to his success.

Trapped in his nightmare scheme, she is forced to fight for her life. The tension builds unbearably as Melissa's race to save her baby and stop Adalwolf forces her to confront the boundaries of good and evil - not only in him, but in herself.

"THE LAST NAZI? We had better hope so. By the time you've finished reading, you'll be convinced this isn't just great suspense, but a kind of mind terror you can't forget."

- Nelson DeMille,
author of Up Country and The General's Daughter

"Settle in where you like to read, throw a blanket over your lap, and prepare for a sleepless night. Adalwolf is a villain for the ages. There are moments when he makes Hannibal Lecter look like the Easter Bunny."

- Michael Palmer,
author of Fatal and The Patient

"From the first shocking page, THE Last Nazi is an unstoppable ride with hairpin twists and turns. This is the best book yet from a master who truly knows how to thrill."

- Tess Gerritsen,
author of The Apprentice and The Surgeon
