“The biggest challenger to Dan Brown’s crown.” —Mirror (UK) When a man’s death at the United Nations turns out to be more than just an accidental shooting, unsuspecting Tom Byrne is plunged headlong into a deadly world of hidden fellowships, unforgivable crimes, and a 60-year quest for justice. From Sam Bourne—the #1 international bestselling author of The Righteous Men and The Last Testament —comes this fast-paced, gripping, and provocative thriller exposing the last great mystery of the Second World War. Perfect for fans of Raymond Khoury, Jo Nesbø, and James Rollins, Bourne’s The Final Solution is a tense and twisting tale of Nazi soldiers and Jewish Avengers, based on the true story of WWII survivors taking vengeance for the Holocaust into their own hands. “THE FINAL RECKONING is a solid entry in the conspiracy thriller stakes. The story moves along at a good pace and Bourne provides some interesting historical background to his tale.” - Canberra Times (Australia) “As crisp and intriguing as they come. . . . Life-threatening plots and pulsating action. . . . THE FINAL RECKONING is: A) high-octane, B) high-minded and C) highly recommended.” - South China Morning Post “Solidly researched. . . . A pacy read, constructed with a crisp control of tension and narrative drive.” - The Observer “[A] swiftly moving plot . . . the multiple action scenes and shocking twist at the end are sure to please readers.” - Library Journal “The story, in part inspired by an actual conspiracy, has the tempo of an Indiana Jones movie mixed with the sensibilities of a history book.” - USA Today “The best thriller I’ve read in years.” - Piers Morgan, in praise of The Righteous Men “The biggest challenger to Dan Brown’s crown.” - Mirror (UK) “By alternating between the past and the present, Bourne has crafted a dark and intensely gripping thriller that vividly captures the emotional maelstrom and physical destruction of World War II Europe. His latest will stay with readers long after they have closed the book.” - Library Journal (starred review) “Stunning suspense novel focused on the recent past.” - Publishers Weekly “Bourne brings some lesser-known history into focus here, integrating brutal descriptions of Nazi terror into his modern-day thriller. . . . His prose is sharp and clear, especially when he’s dealing with history. It’s also no stretch to imagnie some readers diving for the history books or the Internet to find out more about the real endeavers that fueld the fictional Gerald Merton’s life.” - Booklist “Bourne brings some lesser-known history into focus here, integrating brutal descriptions of Nazi terror into his modern-day thriller. . . . His prose is sharp and clear, especially when he’s dealing with history.” - Booklist “Set on the world stage of Baghdad, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, London and Washington, D.C, THE LAST TESTAMENT is an intriguing story that has all the elements of a bestselling novel. . . . I found the story engrossing; I could not put it down. Regardless of one’s political persuasion, I recommend THE LAST TESTAMENT to readers who love biblical thrillers, or any kind of page-turning thrillers.” - Bookreporter.com “A turbo-charged thriller.” - In Style “A thriller of the new school.” - The Observer (UK) “A dramatic, full-throttle adventure.” - Booklist “I couldn’t put this one down! The Righteous Men snags you on the first page and just doesn’t let go. It’s a sweaty-palm roller-coaster ride through the dark side of religion and mysticism. Thoroughly enjoyable and compelling.” - Jeffery Deaver, author of The Cold Moon, in praise of The Righteous Men Once an idealistic lawyer, Tom Byrne will work for anyone now, if the money’s right. An official at the United Nations needs him to placate the family of a harmless old man mistaken for a suicide bomber and shot to death by UN Security. But Byrne soon discovers this victim was not quite as innocent as he appeared to be. Together with the dead man’s daughter, Byrne uncovers the existence of a clandestine brotherhood responsible for hundreds of unexplained deaths worldwide. Now Tom is a marked man—a target of assassins who will destroy him for what he’s learned—as he races to unearth a mystery buried for more than six decades . . . the last great secret of World War II.
