In the final days of the Second World War, American intelligence officer Michael Rogan is tortured by a group of senior Gestapo officers who need to discover his secrets. Ten years later, when recovered from his appalling injuries, and determined to avenge his wife's death at the hands of the same men, he begins a quest to track down and kill each of his tormentors. Dark, violent and graphic, this is an addictive thriller about how far one man will go to exact his own justice. Written a year before Puzo completed 'The Godfather', published under a pseudonym and only very recently brought to light, this novel bears all the hallmarks of a master storyteller.
