The Munich Affair - Hardcover

by James Patterson (Author), David Ellis (Author)

"The Munich Affair is a master class in tension and a perfect historical thriller." --Martha Hall Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls

"This World War II-era thriller feels startlingly modern and essential. As you watch a detective, a journalist, a resistance leader, and a professor race to solve past crimes, the boundaries of time quickly give way to pure suspense." --Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of The Nazi Conspiracy

A suspenseful thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author, James Patterson, that spans a century--set in motion by the murder of Adolf Hitler's young lover by his own hand.

A determined detective, Thomas Bauer, obsessively pursues Hitler--putting Bauer's Jewish wife and children in grave danger.

A courageous journalist, Fritz Gerlich, writes story after story detailing the murder--making Gerlich a target for Hitler's Gestapo.

An American professor, Eleanor Robbins, picks up the trail of evidence from present-day Neo-Nazis guarding the Führer's long-held secrets to the death.

"Much more than a historical murder mystery, this lively and engaging story--from two masters at the top of their game--reminds us that 'those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' You need to read this one and never forget." --Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author
