We meet Horst Geller in 1942, one of the Germans who
joined
the Nazi side to avoid trouble and still ended up in an
awful job. By now he has been guarding a work camp in
Poland for two years, and hasn't seen his wife for that
time. THE BLEIBERG PROJECT then jumps to present day and a
different set of characters; a first-person stream of
consciousness from a Wall Street trader with a depressive
outlook, followed by a third-person view of a grim Mossad
agent who tortures and kills people.
Jay Novacek, the trader, has a destructive lifestyle but
he
starts thinking about someone other than himself when he
learns that his absent father has died. His mother needs
his support. She also passes on to her son an old locket
containing a key embossed with a swastika. Meanwhile
Eytan
Morg, the killer, disposes of an operative from Langley in
a wooded area before heading to New York. His next target
appears to be the hapless Jay. Focusing on the different
people takes concentration, but they are not sympathetic
characters, which can make for glum reading. Just when
we're getting to the bottom of Jay's unhappiness, we slip
back in time to meet senior Nazi Rudolf Hess, cooped up in
the Tower of London during the War. The deluded Hess
believes that by Christmas his army will march through
Moscow.
This multi-layered book takes its name from a depraved
experimental Nazi project, dropping back and pulling
forward to show how this project was thought of and how it
affected the lives of those who knew about its existence.
Different settings are described for the scenes, from a
grand house in Bavaria to the frozen misery of a camp
outside Danzig. Not to let the men have it all their own
way, there is a female agent named Jackie who shoots
pretty
well, if she can't punch as hard as a man. But which side
is she on? I'll let you work that one out for yourself.
The French author David Khara has been a reporter and an
athlete, and now devotes himself to writing thrillers and
vampire stories. British-born translator Simon John has
translated for the film industry before turning his hand
to
books. If you want a thriller full of violence with
scenes
shifting from today's New York to wartime Europe, THE
BLEIBERG PROJECT will keep you on the
edge of your seat.
