The Spandau Diary-what was in it? Why did the secret intelligence agencies of every major power want it? Why was a brave and beautiful woman kidnapped and sexually tormented to get it? Why did a chain of deception and violent death lash out across the globe, from survivors of the Nazi past to warriors in the new conflict about to explode? Why did the world's entire history of World War II have to be rewritten as the future hung over a nightmare abyss.

Wow! It's difficult to tell if truth or fiction, probably a little of booth.
Greg Iles has the ability to weave a tale that you can't stop writing. This story went from West and East Germany to England to South Africa all the time gathering your interest so you can't stop until the final page. The story centers around the possibility that Rudolph Hess of Hitler fame is still living...50 years after the war.

This book is fast paced, and offers a look at what "could have" happened if a high powered Nazi official actually escaped death AND punishment...

One of the great unsolved mysteries of WWII, Nazi collaboration with England? Possible, probable, irrisistable plot

Greg Iles is one of the best thriller writers I have encountered.
In 1987, Rudolph Hess, the last inmate of the infamous Spandau Prison in Berlin, is dead. While the prison is being destroyed with the wrecking ball, the Spandau Diary is found. Why do the secret intelligence agencies of the major world powers want it?
