The Lions Of Judah
Condition remarks:
Book: Good
Jacket: Wear and tear
Pages: Good
Markings: No markings
The young man, watching from the screen of shrubs, could hardly believe his good fortune. There, a hundred yards distant, his white uniform glimmering in the moonlight, was the Reichsmarschall. He raised the rifle to his shoulder and pushed the safety-catch forward; the tiny click sounded like a whiplash in his ears. The Reichsmarschall is Goering. The author uses real events and people to provide the background for an unusual and compelling thriller set in the early months of 1939. To match the originality of the plot, Ted Willis gives us a formidable cast of characters. Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering strides through the pages like an evil giant. Kurt Reiss, the tough young German Jew, and his three strangely assorted comrades are offered a sinister and vicious bargain—a deal which they dare not refuse. So Reiss makes a deal with the Devil, a deal in which the penalty for failure will be terrible in its consequences. The story reaches its nail-biting conclusion in Canada, near the United States border, where at the end of his bizarre mission, Kurt finds that he must render a Devil’s payment for his Devil’s deal. - DJ blurb.
