The Black Sun
About this book
A former art thief is on the trail of a shadowy criminal enterprise determined to uncover a lost Nazi treasure in this international thriller.
In Maryland, a vicious gang breaks into the National Cryptologic Museum and steals a Nazi Enigma machine. In a London hospital, an Auschwitz survivor is murdered in his bed, his killers absconding with his severed left arm. In Prague, a seemingly worthless painting is stolen from a synagogue. Three cities. Three puzzling thefts. Could there possibly be a connection?
When former art thief Tom Kirk is first asked to investigate, he doubts a grand conspiracy is afoot—until the stolen painting turns up alongside the amputated human arm. Both items are part of an elaborate trail of clues laid down in the dying days of the Third Reich by a secret order of SS knights—clues that stretch from Idaho to St. Petersburg, ultimately leading to a fabled lost treasure.
Spurred on by the sinister light of the Black Sun emblem, ghosts from his past, and the poisonous manipulations of a deadly enemy, Tom finds himself trapped in a situation where the greatest prize of all is life itself—and not just his own . . .
