Ten years later, when recovered from his appalling injuries, and determined to avenge his wife`s death at the hands of the same men, he begins a quest to track down and kill each of his tormentors. In the final days of the Second World War, American intelligence officer Michael Rogan is tortured by a group of senior Gestapo officers who need to discover his secrets. Written a year before Puzo completed `The Godfather`, published under a pseudonym and only very recently brought to light, this novel bears all the hallmarks of a master storyteller. Dark, violent and graphic, this is an addictive thriller about how far one man will go to exact his own justice. 2010
