About this listen

Berlin, 30 April, 1945
As the Russian Army closes in on the war-torn City, Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun take their own lives. Their bodies are burned and buried in the Reich Chancellery garden, above the Führer's bunker.

Buenos Aires, 9 January, 2012
Three audacious thieves carry out the biggest safe depository heist in Argentine history, escaping with more than one hundred million dollars' worth of valuables. Within hours, an encrypted phone call to America triggers a blood-soaked manhunt as the thieves are tracked down, systematically tortured, then murdered.

San Francisco, 18 January, 2012
Senator John Franklin, hailed as the 'Great Unifier', secures the Republican Presidential nomination and seems destined for the Oval Office. Despite the sixty-seven-year interval and a span of thirteen thousand miles, these events are indelibly linked.

Chief Inspector Nicolas Vargas of the Buenos Aires Police Department and Lieutenant Troy Hembury of the LAPD are sucked into a dark political conspiracy concealing an incredible historical truth stretching from the infamous Berlin bunker to Buenos Aires and to Washington, which threatens the very heart and soul of American democracy.

I was recommended to this book by a friend and I wasn’t disappointed. A real page turner from beginning to end. I also liked the Narrator.

Really enjoyed this book. The story was fantastic and a very good conspiracy type topic involving nazi party. Very pleased I listened to it. If I had to be picky I would say The narrator wasn’t the best I have heard on an audiobook but I would still rate the book 5/5

Excellent

A real page turner. The book has a great plot and storyline. The characters are accessible and some are easy to like and some not so, but you bring them on your journey from the heist to the end, or is that just the beginning?

A great book. Twists and turns and I'm looking forward to the second book with new and old characters..

A thriller for start to finish, excellently narrated. This book defiantly has the makings for a tv series.
