In this classic thriller, Ira Levin imagines Dr Josef Mengele's nightmarish plot to restore the Third Reich. Alive and hiding in South America thirty years after the end of the Second World War, Mengele gathers a group of former colleagues for a sinister project — the creation of the Fourth Reich. Ageing Nazi hunter Yakov Lieberman is informed of the plot but before he hears the evidence, his source is killed.

Spanning continents and inspired by true events, what follows is one of Levin's most masterful tales, both timeless and chillingly plausible. --back cover

When I read the blurb for this novel, I scoffed at the premise. I'm still scoffing at the premise of it. Another W for Ira Levin, the man can't miss. The writing was just so fluid, conversations never awkward, inner monologue not corny and exposition never too obnoxious. I think his experience writing plays makes the way he sets scenes so engaging. The book really cemented him as my favourite author of all time. Also found it interesting how applicable the mindset of the protag was to current circumstances and perhaps even current public opinion.
