Alive and hiding in South America, the fiendish Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele gathers a group of former colleagues for a horrifying project—the creation of the Fourth Reich. Barry Kohler, a young investigative journalist, gets wind of the project and informs famed Nazi hunter Yakov Lieberman, but before he can relay the evidence, Kohler is killed.
Thus Ira Levin opens one of the strangest and most masterful novels of his career. Why has Mengele marked a number of harmless aging men for murder? What is the hidden link that binds them? What interest can they possibly hold for their killers: six former SS men dispatched from South America by the most wanted Nazi still alive, the notorious "Angel of Death"? One man alone must answer these questions and stop the killings—Lieberman, himself aging and thought by some to be losing his grip on reality.
At the heart of The Boys from Brazil lies a frightening contemporary nightmare, chilling and all too possible.

The Boys from Brazil” is a fine novel with a despicably ingenious plot. The book brilliantly spins fiction from one of the darkest periods in our history. It is clearly written and thought-provoking causing the reader to ask: could it have been accomplished, and are the boys now men?I highly recommend “The Boys from Brazil”⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

De eerste helft is verwarrend, saai en langdradig. Maar houd vol en de tweede helft is de moeite waard!

Geweldig boek, constant op het puntje van de spreekwoordelijke stoel gezeten. De voorlezer laat je denken dat je écht naar Lieberman zelf aan het luisteren bent. Erg goed.
