Two men died on November 22nd,1963.President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.An old German Jew,Salomon Tauber,committed suicide in Hamburg.The two events,one momentous,the other obscure,were apparently unrelated,but each had unforeseeable consequences.It is these consequences that the author deals in his new book,which so triumphantly follows the phenomenal success of 'The Day of the Jackal', his debut novel.Once again the reader is held in taut suspense by every page,once again the excitement of the narrative is matched by its authenticity,for the realities are clear enough in names,in character and in events. The life-and-death hunt for a notorious Nazi criminal unfolds against a background of international espionage and clandestine arms deals,involving rockets designed in Germany, built in Egypt,and equipped with warheads of nuclear waste and bubonic plague.Mossad,the Israeli intelligence service,is locked in struggle with Odessa,the organisation of former SS men in Germany.As the story leads to its final dramatic confrontation on a bleak winter's hill-top,the question that every reader asked at the end of 'The Day of the Jackal' will inevitably be asked again: CAN this be fiction?
