Strhující líčení boje o Paříž v rozmezí čtyř let druhé světové války, široce rozkročený a zároveň do osobních hloubek aktérů ponořený příběh o hrdinství, touze po svobodě a obětování se za správnou věc. Květen roku 1940. Hitlerova vojska vtrhla do Francie a svět byl znovu ohromen drzou, zničující bleskovou válkou, jež vyvrcholila dobytím Paříže. Napadená země se během několika týdnů zhroutila a její metropole, ono „město světel“ zaslíbené intelektuálům a umělcům, ctěné pro svou atmosféru bezstarostnosti a svobodomyslnosti, se ocitlo pod nacistickou nadvládou. Okupanti rozpoutali teror, proti němuž se začal formovat vlastenecký odpor. Nacistům padlo za oběť více než sto dvacet tisíc Pařížanů, bezpočet dalších prošel věznicemi Gestapa a skončil v koncentračních táborech. Čím déle nepřítel držel město ve svých spárech, tím větší hrozba na jeho obyvatele doléhala. Zbývala jim jediná naděje: invaze do Normandie, mnoho měsíců intenzivně připravovaná Brity a Američany. Byly to ale především jedny z největších postav této válečné doby, které měly osud francouzské metropole od počátku v rukou. Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, George S. Patton a Charles de Gaulle, řídící odboj z londýnského exilu, svými rozhodnutími rýsovali kontury dramatu, rozehraného mezi květnem 1940 a srpnem 1944.

The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller (October 2018) Confronting Nazi evil is the subject of the next installment in the mega-bestselling Killing series As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader, Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through a sophisticated Nazi organization designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death” who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler’s brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel "Butcher of Lyon"; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann. Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled "Nazi hunters." This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-Day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor. Over decades, these men and women scoured the world, tracking down the SS fugitives and bringing them to justice, which often meant death. Written in the fast-paced style of the Killing series, Killing the SS will educate and stun the reader. The final chapter is truly shocking.
