About this listen

War hero and Expressionist painter Max Bauer is an ambitious protégé of the artistic-minded - but anti-Modernist - Adolf Hitler. Max is the assigned curator of the infamous Aryan Art and Degenerate Art exhibitions in 1937 Berlin. Torn between ambition and revulsion, he defends his creative integrity, his colleagues, and his steadfast, half-Jewish physician wife Frieda from escalating Nazi terror. As danger mounts and his pacifism crumbles, he battles an obsessive but refined Gestapo henchman determined to destroy them. His fight to save not only his artistic legacy but also his country and loved ones culminates with the massive Crystal Night pogrom, when - with Frieda - they resolve this high stakes jeopardy in an action-packed, suspenseful climax. This is a fast-paced story based upon true incidents, about love, romance, intrigue, atrocities, the psychology of twisted historical figures, and the determination to destroy evil at its source.

This book was a pleasant surprise. Having listened or read all the Bernie Gunther books by Philip Kerr, I did not think that I would find another worthy tome. This was a good listen and ably narrated. The plot is well-structured and easy to follow. Steve White did a good job in his narration - although the American pronunciations - especially of German words - jarred somewhat.
The author melded well fiction with fact and it is worthy of 4 stars.
