New York Times best-selling author Jeffery Deaver, renowned for his Lincoln Rhyme mystery series, offers up an awe-inspiring departure from his usual genre in his 19th novel, Garden of Beasts. An intricate historical thriller of the highest calibre, Garden of Beasts abounds with suspense, twists and turns. Set in 1936 Nazi Berlin, this novel has everything fans of this powerhouse author have come to expect and much, much more. German-born mob hit man Paul Schumann has just been busted in New York City by federal agents. Staring down the barrel of a life sentence in prison, Schumann is offered one alternative: indenture himself to the U.S. government and travel into Germany undercover to assassinate Colonel Reinhard Ernst, the man in charge of the Nazi's burgeoning militarization. Schumann makes his fateful choice, and disguised as a journalist covering the upcoming Olympic Games, sails to Germany on an ocean liner. Arriving on the streets of Berlin, Schumann finds himself in a city where fear and madness prevail. Almost immediately his plans begin to go awry-even worse, he discovers that a master police detective is tracking him. With the morbid drapery of the Nazi party looming over the proceedings, both the cold-blooded Schumann and his wily pursuer begin to see their worlds plunging toward darkness. This masterful noir thriller features a pulse-pounding reading from Recorded Books narrator Jefferson Mays.
