The Accomplice by Joseph Kanon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A good, uncomfortable book. The story is unpleasant.What did I expect in a story of Nazi hunters in the years after the war. Kanon pulls no punches and tells the story the way it might really happen.
I spent a week in Buenos Aires a few years ago and his descriptions of the city and its flavor are spot on. I hope he got a vacation out of the book.
It is obvious that Nazis ended up in South America. We don't know much of how they got there and how they were sustained as members of the upper classes in these countries. This book gives us some of that.
