In a Japanese restaurant in Säo Paulo, Brazil, a group of seemingly affable Germans are having dinner. In reality they are Dr. Josef Mengele, "the angel of Auschwitz," and six former SS men who are setting in motion a worldwide plan of assassination: 94 men in six western countries, with no apparent importance or connection to each other, will die according to a carefully timed schedule — unless Yakov Liebermann, an ageing Nazi hunter, can stop the slayings. Racing against time, Liebermann tries to determine the common denominator that has marked the victims for extinction: each man, he finds, has a much younger wife and a dark-haired, 12-year-old son .. .
From this emerges a genetic plot with implications so devastating for the future of mankind, "you won't stop reading." Publishers
