Garden of Beasts

Winner of the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger for the best thriller of 2004

Paul Schumann corrects God's mistakes. His first hit was revenge for his father's murder - but then he found he had a talent for it. Now, he's been offered the
ultimate job. One final target, and he can retire. Only his client isn't the mob. It's the US government. And if he succeeds, he could change the course of history.

Jeffery Deaver's breathtaking new thriller adds an epic twist to his trademark pace and suspense. Schumann's mission will take him to the Berlin of Hitler's Olympics, where danger and betrayal lurk everywhere. It's a cat-and-mouse chase, with Schumann both cat and mouse, a man who thinks he has nothing to lose . . .
