Years after WWII, a pair of veterans believe they’ve spotted a Nazi
in disguise, in a thriller with “more surprise turns than most
novels twice its length” (Kirkus Reviews). In postwar England,
Goldsmith and Templewood see each other once a year at reunions of
their regiment. Goldsmith is a local politician now, while Templewood
is a gregarious salesman with a taste for the ladies. They lead
different lives but have one thing in common: They vividly remember
Nikolaus Hebbel of the SS, and they would both like to see him dead.
Now they find themselves together, watching a man staying at their
hotel in London, checked in under the name Neil Housman. They’re
sure he resembles Hebbel—something in the mannerisms, the
expression. They ponder whether their memories of twenty years ago are
reliable. They follow the man in hopes of confirming his real
identity—and finding out what he’s up to. The question is whether
they will discover the truth before or after they kill the suspected
Nazi war criminal . . . “Reginald Hill delivers literate,
complex, and immensely satisfying thrillers.” —Orlando Sentinel
“Reginald Hill’s stories must certainly be among the best now
being written.” —The Times Literary Supplement
