Summary: Excellent story.
Review: This is a great book. I have no clue what book the guy that gave this a '2' read, but it wasn't this one. Anyone I know that read this book really loved it. It is fun to read from start to finish. Just a neat story that is a pleasure to read. Not brilliant writing, just great story telling. The thought of a Nazi war criminal back to kill more is mind blowing. If you love thrillers, WWII novels, history, or can relate to the subject, you should read this book.

Summary: Horrors From the Past
Review: This is an excellent book of suspense and drama based on an interesting premise. For some, the war never ends and the hatred never diminishes. The joy of the hunt and the thrill of the kill must continue forever. Such is the mindset of the man known as The Shadow Man. For the elderly Jewish survivors who now live in Florida, their worst fears are realised as the horrors of their past come back to haunt them and, even worse, to kill them.The Shadow Man was one of the people in Nazi Germany who was known as a catcher. A Jew who worked with the Gestapo identifying and flushing out Jewish citizens before sending them to the concentration camps. Seeing him and being seen by him was thought to be synonymous to death. Of all the catchers in Berlin, The Shadow Man was the most feared and most hated. When one of the Miami Beach residents swears she has spotted The Shadow Man right there in the neighbourhood, the news is treated with some scepticism. But when the number of suspicious deaths begins to grow, the unthinkable possibility becomes more and more likely. The Miami police are up against a man who has had over 50 years experience. Okay, he may be a senior citizen now, but he's still very good at what he does and is just as determined as ever. There are some remarkable characterisations in this story making it more than just a run of the mill suspense drama. From the suicidal ex-cop, Simon Winter, to prosecutor / avenger Espy Martinez and junkie Leroy Jefferson. All make vital contributions and at times provide some telling insights into what may motivate different people to act. This is a fast paced thriller with a slightly skewed spin that manages to capture the attention from the opening page.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is the first book I have read by Katzenbach and I was very impressed. His characters literally jumped off the page and their voices were distinct. This is the first book I have ever read that made me want to turn back to page one and read it all over again as soon I was finished with it. I can't wait to read more of his work.

Summary: Mediocre and unbelievable
Review: This was a suddenly quiverred, flutterred, weakened talent typically shown by J.K., especially, after he wrote his power-house "JUST CAUSE"(The only readable one). Like his other books before the only recommended one, there were so many holes and illogic flaws in this leaking story. J.K. needs to be restrained from writing such bad story again like this! Before writing any new novel, please try to get some credits of LOGIC lessons from your community college, OK

Summary: A Big disapointment
Review: Unlike some of the other reviews offered herein, I found this book quite refreshing. It offered a story that moved at a decent pace and offered some unlikely heroes. While this book isn't the best book I've read, it was quite compelling in its storyline. I found it immensely refreshing to find that the protagonists were not your everyday, run-of-the-mill "supermans". If you want to find a story that compels you to read further, yet without "suspending disbelief" too much, then this is the book to read. If you search for "the" book to define suspense fiction, maybe you should look elsewhere, however, if you want to find a diverting story, with nice balance, read this book! I'm going to read more from Katzenbach.

Summary: Better than I thought it'd be!
Review: When I first started this book I thought it would be something which progressed slowly. But I turned out to be wrong! I wouldn't call it fast paced but once you've started reading, you'll find it's hard to put down. The story-line was easy to follow and it was intresting, which is a very important part. However, I spotted a few mistakes in the spoken German at the beginning, eg. 'Vas'. I am learning German and know it should be spelt 'was'. Don't let this small mistake discourage you from reading such a good book though.
