"CHILLING. . . TAUT SUSPENSE. --The Boston Globe Berlin, 1943. Few saw his face; none knew his name.

"A FIRST-CLASS THRILLER. . . A MASTERPIECE OF DETECTIVE SUSPENSE."--The Toronto Star Miami Beach, present day. Retired homicide detective Simon Winter's lonely life takes an urgent turn when his terrified neighbor appears at his door. She has seen a ghost in the flesh, a demon from her past--Der Schattenmann. The next morning, Sophie is found strangled, her eyes locked open in terror. "GRIPPING . . . CHILLINGLY FRIGHTENING . . . HARD TO PUT DOWN."--The Miami Herald The police think it's just another homicide. But Winter knows the horrifying truth: an elusive killer is stalking Holocaust survivors in Miami. Now, after years of retirement, Winter must match wits with a sadistically smooth expert on death who lives for the thrill of the hunt, tortures for the rush of power, and murders to keep himself, and his history, hidden forever. . . .
