The death of an Arab financier reveals the dangerous fractures running through Budapest in Adam LeBor's latest dark police procedural.
Two British journalists draw on recent research and declassified documents for a new perspective on the Third Reich: the ways that average people living in Germany, its allies and occupied territories, and neutral European nations made everyday choices which had consequences for the rise of Adolf Hitler. By exploiting German dissatisfaction, both ideological and practical, and by being all things to all "racially pure" Germans, the Nazis corrupted and seduced an entire nation; LeBor and Boyes portray a world of continual ethical and moral compromise by citizens of the Reich that led to their complicity in the Holocaust. First published in the UK as Surviving Hitler (2000). c. Book News Inc.

'Adam LeBor reveals that crime fiction still has exciting new avenues to explore' Val McDermid.
Yael Azoulay does the United Nations' dirty work by cutting deals that most of us never hear about. Equally at home in the caves of Afghanistan, the slums of Gaza, or corporate boardrooms all across the world, Yael believes the ends justify the means...until she's pushed way beyond her breaking point. When Yael is assigned to eastern Congo to negotiate with Jean-Pierre Hakizimani, a Hutu warlord wanted for genocide, she offers him a generous plea bargain. Thanks to Congo's abundance of a valuable mineral used in computer and cell phone production, her number one priority is maintaining regional stability. But when she discovers that Hakizimani is linked to the death of the person she loved the most—and that the UN is prepared to sanction mass murder—Yael soon realizes that salvation means not just saving others' lives but confronting her own inner demons. Spanning New York City, Africa, and Switzerland, The Geneva Option is the first in a series of gripping conspiracy thrillers, a tour de force of international espionage and intrigue.
