Nicknamed the "Nazi Hunter," Marek Cain, deputy director of the Office of Special Investigations at the Justice Department, is the point man for tracking down ex-Nazis who have fraudulently entered this country since World War II and bringing them to justice.

One late afternoon, a distraught, middle-aged German woman, Sophie Reiner, eludes security and slips into Cain's office. "I have documents," she says, "important documents only for the Nazi Hunter." She promises to bring them the next day. When she doesn't show, he dismisses her as just another crackpot. But when he reads in the Washington Post next morning that the woman has been brutally murdered, he senses he's on to something big. He must find those documents.

The trail leads from Washington to Miami, to Boston, to Germany and Ukraine and eventually to the Belzec extermination camp in Poland, where half a million Jews were murdered in the winter of 1942.

The Nazi Hunter is a thriller that combines romance, political intrigue, music, religion and culture. Meticulously researched, it takes the reader on an intellectual journey into the seamy side of Washington, the heart of darkness in Europe and the lair of America's fascist militias. Nobody who reads it will fail to be entertained, amused and profoundly moved.
