A Paul Christopher Novel, Book 10

Christopher's Ghosts

By: Charles McCarry

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki

With cinematic scope and masterful pacing, Charles McCarry delivers a haunting parable of a man confronted with the ghosts of an entire generation's brutal history.

The grand tale begins in 1939 Berlin, where young Paul Christopher and his family are struggling against the rise of Nazi totalitarianism. The Christophers are known to be sympathetic to the persecuted Jews, and 16-year-old Paul has fallen in love with the daughter of a Jewish doctor. Their enemy is a sadistic S.S. officer named Stutzer, who will stop at nothing to destroy the young couple.

Twenty years later, top CIA agent Paul Christopher is the only living witness to Stutzer's crimes. As he edges toward the final confrontation with this mortal enemy, Christopher is forced to operate in the one theater he had thought he had mastered: his own past.

Critic reviews

"The best writer of intelligence and political novels in the world." ( Boston Globe)

"Veteran McCarry remains a compelling storyteller....The book speeds toward a satisfying, inevitable conclusion." ( Publishers Weekly)

A Great Ending to a wonderful series

A fitting ending to the Paul Christopher story. I hate when I reach the end of a series.

Great story, great performance

What a most enjoyable experience listening to this book. Highly recommended. I really love this writer.

What a great story

The narrator is a favorite of mine. His diction and accents are second to none. Plus, he’s very easy to listen to. The story is captivating with vivid characters and I listened for hours at a time. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

EXCELLENT, SPELLBINDING

THIS BOOK WAS EXCELLENT, DIDN'T WANT TO STOP LISTENING. WILL LISTEN AGAIN. RECOMMEND TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THAT ERA OR WHO JUST WANT TO HEAR A GOOD BOOK. JLBRN

Very much worth the listen

McCarry’s style can be compared to Hemingway and Fitzgerald. The narrator is perhaps the best I’ve heard. Very much worth the listen.
