The Deed
About this book
A NON-FICTION THRILLER BY THE AUTHOR OF "THE BOSTON STRANGLER"TWO YOUNG RADICALS ASSASSINATE A HIGH GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL. WERE THEY PATRIOTS OR MURDERERS?CAIRO, EGYPT: The car moved slowly through the baking heat and noise of the city and finally arrived at Lord Moyne's residence. The car halted and the chauffeur hurried to open the door for the British Ambassador. On the other side, two figures leapt up and raced toward the carāboth carrying revolvers. One youth reached the automobile, wrenched open the back door and fired three times at Lord Moyne."Stop, murderers, stop!"Within seconds police had captured the two."Who are you? Why have you done this?"One boy spoke. "We have nothing to say. We await the judgment of mankind.""Brilliant and suspenseful. I can think of few reading experiences in the last year as compelling as The Deed."āLos Angeles Times"SPELLBINDING SUSPENSEā¦a slice of history beautifully and accurately told. The Deed is by far the finest book Gerold Frank has ever written; it is easy to read but awfully, awfully hard to forget."āQuentin Reynolds, Saturday Review"COMPELLING, IMPORTANT. Even if it were not trueāand it is agonizingly trueāit would be a genuine literary work. It is a book not to be forgotten."āHerald Tribune"A NARRATIVE THAT WON'T LET YOU GOā¦moving and disturbing."āChicago Tribune"POWER AND POIGNANCYā¦gives life to a footnote in history. The opening prickles with suspense. The book reaches a climax of genuine pathos. Few, I predict, will fail to be moved by the closing pages of The Deed."āJohn Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate
