"On the coast of Central America, an aging man sits down to pen his memoirs. He begins with his childhood in Vienna, just after World War I, when his family lived in respectable poverty and his greatest pleasure was being rocked to sleep in the lap of his beloved babysitter.

Hes a war criminal, a veteran of the elite Nazi brigade known as the SS, and hell write proudly of every atrocity he can recall. Distracting him from his work is inquisitive American journalist Kate OBrien, who has come in search of a story. When Kate accidentally stumbles upon the old man's pages, he has no choice but to act, kidnapping her and locking her in his basement. His latest crime threatening to expose him, the proud Nazi will come face to face with the horrors of his past and the blackness of his soul."--Page [4] of cover.
