A thrilling debut that puts an unforgettable new spin on the World
War II suspense novel: what if the Resistance had approached the
notorious Jewish gangster Meyer Lansky for help? Leonard "Mouse"
Weiss has worked as a hit man for Meyer Lansky-the legendary Brooklyn
Jewish crime boss-for years. But with his last "drop," Mouse has
blown it, big-time. Now Lansky needs Weiss out of town fast . .. and
along comes the perfect opportunity. An underground Resistance
movement based in Europe needs muscle and money to intercept a train
carrying Dutch Jews to their deaths. They've timed their plan
carefully. The U.S. State Department and the British Foreign Service
are about to meet in Bermuda to discuss what is happening to Europe's
Jews, and if this rescue can be pulled off while the conference is
under way, it could finally galvanize the Allies to take action.
Killing two birds with one stone, Lansky sends a reluctant Mouse to
do the job with simple instructions: Do not screw this one up. But
Hitler's Europe isn't Canal Street, and before he knows it, Mouse
finds himself ensnared in a race against capture that grows more
complicated and deadly with each passing second. And this time he's
looking out for more than just himself.
