The Wrong Man

by David E. Fisher

Walter Naman, German-born Jew, naturalized American citizen, and professional Nazi-hunter, is intent on assassinating Gottfried Waldner, the German chancellor, who is about to visit the United States and is supposedly plotting to resurrect the Third Reich. David Melnik, a Mossad agent (and the hero of Hostage One, the author's previous novel), is dispatched to meet with the U.S. authorities to prevent the assassination, and quickly becomes inextricably involved in the case. The ensuing manhunt, along with a passionate romance and a prescient prediction of the rise of neo-Nazism plaguing Germany today, keeps the reader on the edge of his chair. Chillingly real and with vivid characterization, The Wrong Man is a riveting thriller in the bestselling tradition of The Thirty-Nine Steps, The Day of the Jackal, and Fatherland.
