About this listen
A failed commando raid leads to a global hunt for the last remaining Nazi war criminals
Six Israeli commandos land on a lakeshore in Austria, hunting for something that has been hidden underwater for over thirty years. The lake holds many secrets left behind by the Nazi high command as their regime crumbled in 1945. There are millions of dollars in international currency, bonds, and gold bullion, but the commandos want none of it. They have come for boxes of files - containing information about the hiding places of every Nazi war criminal who evaded judgment at Nuremberg. But the commandos have been caught. Shotguns sing out, killing all but one of the Israelis. He escapes with one box, which holds nearly $2 million in gold but no information. The assassins recover two of the other boxes. A fourth is missing. Many men will die to find it - a price the Israeli secret service is willing to pay in the hope that justice may finally be served.

I was in Israel in the 1970s, have been to Austria which made this book an obvious choice for me.
What we all learned, and what Mr Freemantle didn't know at the time this book was written/published was the information about Project Paperclip would come out revealing how the allies not only knew where many Nazi officers had escaped to, they had arranged for them as well as scientists to be shared out amongst the allies to assist in post war projects, in which ever area of expertise they were working in. Mengele came to England and worked as Dr Green in private practice. Kurt Debus, Eberhard Rees, Arthur Rudolph, and Wernher von Braun went to NASA. Along with them came their families! Only a few returned home.
Turns out one of the Nazis is a founder of the trans movement, where knowledge learned from concentration camp experiments would be revisited on confused children from the 1960s to the present day (Source: The Cass Report 10 April 2024).
Freemantle pulls no punches in his books, and death and destruction are liberally sprinkled, to spice the plot and build the tension.
