The Nazi Hunter

A Novel

De: Alan Elsner

Narrado por: Keith Szarabajka

Brimming with surprising characters, chilling political revelations, and a heart-pounding climax, The Nazi Hunter is a thrilling debut and “an action-packed story” (Jewish Book World).

A gripping thriller, The Nazi Hunter mixes fierce partisan Washington politics, the search for ex-Nazi criminals, and a crazed, right-wing militia intent on bringing down the government.

Nicknamed “the Nazi Hunter”, Marek Cain, deputy director of the Office of Special Investigations at the Justice Department, has for 10 years been the point man for tracking down ex-Nazis who have fraudulently entered the United States since World War II and bringing them to justice.

Late one afternoon, a distraught German woman 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 the 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 Florida, 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 listener 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 hears it will fail to be entertained, amused, and profoundly moved.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“[A] gripping debut thriller…. [A] compelling tale.” ( Publishers Weekly)

Could have been a 5-star...

... if it hadn't been for the incessant F-bombs... good story otherwise, like a stunning dress with a soup stain on the front. Good narrator!

Great story, so-so narration

I loved this story but the narrator has some work to do on his story telling abilities. It sounded “read” instead of narrated.

the Nazi hunter

not exactly what I was expecting but, I enjoyed it very much. not a title I thought would have much humor yet there it was. Excellent

The story really builds

The story was slow to build & once it did, it was very good. The ending had an unexpected twist which was great

The ending

The ending was very abrupt. However all the loose ends were tied up. I would listen again as the plot was intriguing.

excellent

well paced & nuanced plot lines - with an enjoyable look at observant modern jewry - also well read

slow start fast finish

I had a hard time getting into this story.
loved the narrator. book finished fast and changed direction.

Timely excellence in writing

A masterfully written novel, highly important for the whole world. Exciting and spiritually provoking. One of the best things I have read in years

Great Story Well Worth Reading...

However, the narration was poor. The narrator sounded at least 20 years older than the 36-year-old protagonist. Also, he often failed to change the pitch of his voice when speaking as a female. That being said the cadence of his narration was pleasant.

I enjoyed the story so much that I'm going to see what else Alan Elsner has written, which is probably why Audible gives us these freebies.

Loved it - great book

Loved it - great book to listen to. Fast paced and interesting!! Recommended it to a friend!
