About this ebook

Moments before he dies, terminally ill Karl Muller makes a startling deathbed confession: he admits to killing thousands of Jews during World War II. His nurse, Helen Dobson, is understandably shocked. She refers the matter to Bryan De Luca, a part-time professor with experience in international affairs. De Luca soon learns that shortly after the war, Muller and dozens of former Nazis were recruited by American Intelligence to work as spies against the Soviets. De Luca also learns that Sam O’Hara, a former immigration investigator, had compiled a secret list of ex-Nazis in America—a list that so-called contractors hired to protect them are desperate to obtain. They’ll stop at nothing, not even murder, to keep the identities of the Nazis from falling into the hands of the JFJ, Jews for Justice, whose sole objective is to kill them…

Ratings and reviews

I’d recommend A Cry for Vengeance to anyone who likes a blend of history and thriller, but also to readers who don’t mind being left with hard questions. It’s not just about chasing old ghosts. It’s about the cost of silence, the burden of memory, and the uneasy choices people make in the name of survival or justice.
