Set against the backdrop of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, the narrative explores how this grand event served as a facade for the Third Reich's ambitions. While the world was invited to witness a display of athletic prowess and national pride, the underlying political tensions and the rise of dark forces hinted at the impending turmoil. The Olympics became a pivotal moment, reflecting the stark contrast between the spectacle of sport and the grim realities of a nation on the brink of war.

Jak nacističtí váleční zločinci utíkali Fascinující pojednání o nacistických zločincích, kteří unikli spravedlnosti ve zmatku poválečných let – a o těch, kdo se je snažili vystopovat. Na vzorku několika nacistů – např. Josefa Mengeleho, Adolfa Eichmanna nebo Franze Stangla – autor popisuje jejich únik z Německa a odhaluje, kdo jim pomáhal utéct a založit novou existenci v zahraničí. Sleduje, kdo se naopak pustil do úkolu vyhledat je v těchto nových domovech – nejznámější mezi nimi je Simon Wiesenthal. Přístup autora je sympaticky obrazoborecký: Wiesenthala označuje za „lháře, a ještě k tomu špatného", nezdržuje se mnoha konspiračními teoriemi, které se na námět za léta nabalily. Jako nadaný vypravěč dokazuje, že pravda může někdy být ještě bizarnější než románová fikce.

As World War II rages a captured British officer faces a desperate dilemma in this stunning novel in the tradition of Robert Harris

February 1945. As the Allies make great gains in France, the Channel Islands remain a bastion of Nazi-occupied territory. On Jersey, Lieutenant-Colonel Max von Luck is in charge of liaising with the civilian population. He has little time for his fanatical colleagues, and has earned the respect of many of the Islanders. In his bunker in Berlin, Hitler decides to deploy the V3 - a weapon so secret that even the slave labourers constructing it deep beneath the island of Alderney do not know its exact purpose. June 1990. Workmen digging the foundations for a new hotel start to fall sick. Their illness is similar to that suffered by many islanders over the past half-century. Journalist Robert Lebonneur is suspicious. Then he finds a diary written by Lieutenant-Colonel Max von Luck during the wartime occupation. The diary makes it clear that much more is at stake than a mysterious illness. As Lebonneur investigates, he begins to run into the same dark forces that von Luck found himslf up against nearly half a century before...

Poutavý příběh XI. letních olympijských her, které se konaly v r. 1936 v Berlíně a jejichž průběh výrazně poznamenal nastupující fašismus a celková atmosféra doby na prahu 2. světové války. Autor strhujícím způsobem oživuje méně známou epizodu nastupujícího fašismu. V roce 1936 se do Berlína sjíždějí sportovci, politici, společenská smetánka, diplomaté, novináři, vojáci, spisovatelé a umělci z celého světa, aniž by tušili, že jsou to poslední chvíle klidu, které spolu tráví na tribunách a na večírcích. Máme možnost se poprvé dozvědět, jak Hitler zneužil této olympiády ke svým záměrům, jak bylo se sportovci manipulováno, a že nejen samotní nacisté, ale i olympijští činovníci ideál olympijského hnutí zradili.
