By Jeffrey Deaver.

SIGNED EDITION!

REVIEW: Deaver fans expect the unexpected from this prodigiously talented thriller writer, and the creator of the Lincoln Rhyme series and other memorable yarns (The Blue Nowhere, etc.) doesnt disappoint with his 19th novel, this time offering a deliciously twisty tale.. Publishers Weekly.

OVERVIEW: Paul Schumann is a contract hitman for the mob in 1936. But with Prohibition over and the gang wars associated with it coming to an end, Schumann is finding less and less work. He is contracted for a hit. But this time, hes caught - and finds that hes been set up. Hes taken to meet an official in Army Intelligence and given a choice: he can spend the rest of his life in jail, or he can help his country. He is to pose as a member of the 1936 Olympic team, travel to Berin, and kill a high-ranking Nazi close to Hitler. Schumann has bee picked because hes a second generation German-American and can speak the language fluently. Or at least thats what they lead him to believe...
