About this ebook
A German businessman is the third to die: murdered in a seaside guesthouse.
A note pinned on his body is addressed to Colonel Otto Skorzeny, Hitler’s favourite commando and once the most dangerous man in Europe. It warns Skorzeny that they are coming for him next.
Lieutenant Albert Ryan is ordered by the Irish Minister for Justice, Charles Haughey, to protect Skorzeny, but Ryan defied his parents and scandalised his home town to join the British Army and fight the Nazi regime. Can Ryan bring himself to protect a man who caused the deaths of thousands: a man who now lives safely in Ireland in the lap of luxury?

Sorry Stuart, Quite disappointing really. Too much of a Boys Own adventure story. The bones of this plot are undoubtedly true, but it should have had a far more, real world credible ring to it. It will serve its purpose for many wanting a general read, but for those who know more of the murky world of this genre, Ratlines will feel flaccid and implausible. This plot in F.Forsyths hands and it would have been another Day of Jackal. Could do better.
