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)

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!

A great listen, especially for being a freebie!

At first, I thought this was an actual account of someone's experiences, combining real-life quotes and stats within the fiction. The book is also written in a way that relayed firsthand experience, from a first-person perspective, so I was confused for the first half. But it really is a great story. I appreciated that the main character was a practicing orthodox Jew, because I learned smaller tidbits of that religion along the way.

The book is intense in places, and carries the story well. There are a few slow spots, but they pick up again after a few minutes. The story has smaller elements of romance, theology, action, sarcasm, and wit that I enjoyed, and clever puzzle pieces that gradually fall into place along the way. I enjoyed the narrator. He was not overly dramatic, had an even tone throughout the book, and he made characters distinguishable from one another. He also nailed the German/British/Russian accents throughout.

I was 90% satisfied with the ending, which I lacked a true ending for Marek's character. I wanted to know where he ended up after his actions revealing the Nazi. Everything else came to a pretty satisfactory conclusion. If you have a fascination with WWII and war criminals like I do, you will probably like this story!

great listen for a freebie

I feel the narrator could have been less monotone and given more diverse personalities to the characters. there seemed to be a lot of arbitrary information / action but it all tied together well. definitely some good twists at the end. definitely worth the time.

Riveting Story!

Book was offered for free through Audible. It was a great surprise. Everything I like in this kind of story. Great, believable characters and a plot full of twists, turns, and credible dialogue. The ending was full of surprises and then kept going. Well done Alan Eisner. Will definitely look for other books by this author...and pay for them.

great

loved the book, loved the narrator, and still can't stop laughing over the other review that thinks this book is an "attack on today's patriots" (aka alt right members) like it was written today and not the 90s.

hey awesome awesome book

hey awesome book it kept you on the seat of your pants and how the story played out it was just awesome how the history was put in how they figured everything out loved it want to read more
