In this classic thriller, Ira Levin imagines Dr Josef Mengele's nightmarish plot to restore the Third Reich. Alive and hiding in South America thirty years after the end of the Second World War, Mengele gathers a group of former colleagues for a sinister project — the creation of the Fourth Reich. Ageing Nazi hunter Yakov Lieberman is informed of the plot but before he hears the evidence, his source is killed.
Spanning continents and inspired by true events, what follows is one of Levin's most masterful tales, both timeless and chillingly plausible.

A Group of Obscure Men
Ninety-four civil servants.
All aged Sixty-five.

A plan which will fulfill a long-thwarted destiny.

And allow history's greatest evil to rise again.
