The Odessa file

The Odessa file

Frederick Forsyth, 1938-

Book - 2012

When an elderly German Jew commits suicide, he leaves behind a diary that eventually falls into the hands of eager young journalist Peter Miller. In its pages, Miller reads descriptions of inhuman cruelty, torture, and remorseless mass murder committed during World Warr II by SS captain Eduard Roschmann--now known as the "Butcher of Riga" and a wanted fugitive. Horrified, Miller vows to hunt down Roschmann and bring him to justice. But Roschmann is not alone. He is part of something much more ominous: Odessa, an organization of former SS fanatics formed to protect and support its fugitive members around the globe.
