520    "Hypnotic, shocking, and unputdownable." —John le Carré 
       From the author of the internationally acclaimed, award-
       winning  East West Street:  A tale of Nazi lives, mass 
       murder, love, cold war espionage, a mysterious death in 
       the Vatican—and "the Ratline," the Nazi escape route to 
       Peron's Argentina.  Baron Otto von Wächter, Austrian 
       lawyer, husband, father, high Nazi official, senior SS 
       officer, former governor of Galicia during the war, 
       creator and overseer of the Krakow ghetto, indicted after 
       as a war criminal for the mass murder of more than 100,000
       Poles, hunted by the Soviets, the Americans, the British, 
       by Simon Wiesenthal, on the run for three years, from 1945
       to 1948 . . .  Philippe Sands pieces together, in riveting
       detail, Wächter's extraordinary, shocking story. Given 
       full access to the Wächter family archives—journals, 
       diaries, tapes, and more—and with the assistance of the 
       Wächters' son Horst, who believes his father to have been 
       a "good man," Sands writes of Wächter's rise through the 
       Nazi high command, his "blissful" marriage and family life
       as their world was brought to ruin, and his four-year 
       flight to escape justice—to the Tirol, to Rome, and the 
       Vatican; given a new identity, on his way to a new life 
       via "the Ratline" to Perón's Argentina, the escape route 
       taken by Eichmann, Mengele, and thousands of other Nazis. 
       Wächter's escape was cut short by his mysterious, shocking
       death in Rome, in the midst of the burgeoning Cold War 
       (was he being recruited in postwar Italy by the Americans 
       and the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps or by the 
       Soviet NKVD or by both; or was he poisoned by one side or 
       the other, as his son believes—or by both?) . . . An 
       extraordinary discovery, told up-close through access to a
       trove of family correspondence between Wächter and his 
       wife—part historical detective story, part love story, 
       part family memoir, part Cold War espionage thriller. 
       "Breathtaking, gripping, shattering." —Elif Shafak
