The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller (October 2018) Confronting Nazi evil is the subject of the next installment in the mega-bestselling Killing series As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader, Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through a sophisticated Nazi organization designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death” who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler’s brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel "Butcher of Lyon"; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann. Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled "Nazi hunters." This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-Day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor. Over decades, these men and women scoured the world, tracking down the SS fugitives and bringing them to justice, which often meant death. Written in the fast-paced style of the Killing series, Killing the SS will educate and stun the reader. The final chapter is truly shocking.

Podtitul: Nešťastná náhoda, nebo předem naplánovaná vražda?
Zcela nečekaná smrt amerického generála George Pattona v důsledku autonehody způsobila šok a vyvolala řadu dohadů. Dodnes zůstává nezodpovězenou otázkou, zda šlo skutečně o nehodu, nebo o úmyslnou vraždu. Patton byl totiž nejen geniálním velitelem, ale také člověkem velmi kontroverzním, který si nadělal svým často neomaleným agresivním chováním, velkou ctižádostivostí a nijak neskrývanou nevraživostí vůči Sovětům řadu nepřátel. Pozornost je tedy v knize zaměřena nejen na poslední dny generálova života, ale také na poslední měsíce války, především na momenty, které dovolí nám, čtenářům, podrobně poznat osobitou povahu Pattona a proniknout do složitého přediva vztahů, které poutaly, ať chtě nebo nechtě, hlavní aktéry závěrečných bojů druhé světové války. Tím, kdo nás těmito momenty provede, kdo si klade otázky a hledá odpovědi, zda se za smrtí slavného generála neskrývalo něco jiného, není nikdo jiný než významný americký politický komentátor, dlouholetý moderátor televizního publicistického pořadu The O'Reilly Factor.
Kniha byla přeložena z originálu „Killing Patton. The Strange Death of World War lľs Most Audacious General“ vydaného nakladatelstvím Henry Holt and Company v New Yorku v roce 2014.
