Summary

The old Nazi's being protected, but why? 1977 Argentina and Detective Sergeant Emil Vazquez of the Buenos Aires police is investigating illegal abortion. A routine case until he discovers the world's most wanted Nazi is involved - Doctor Joseph Mengele. Worse, Argentina's ruling military junta is protecting the monster. And why does the church also seem keen for Auschwitz's infamous Angel of Death to succeed in his twisted medical experiments? The stakes couldn't be higher. Can Emil expose the truth and bring the perpetrators to justice, or has he just made himself the shocking conspiracy's next victim?

Just odd and not long enough to be called a novel.

I thought this would be a crime novel set in the very interesting years of the Argentinian Junta. It was set then but ended up being science fiction of the most moronic kind. Even the narrator sounded pleased to get to the end.

"Chasing ghosts."

A quick read at only just over three hours, but don't let this fool you: it is three hours of fearful ideas and disfigured children. Set initially in corrupt Argentina in 1977, a police officer is sent to a remote and potentially dangerous rural area to track down an abortion clinic said to be disguised as an orphanage. What he found was slightly different.

Well written, this is an horror story of atrocities and politics and, strangely, of !ove. If this is the beginning I am impatient to go further and simply cannot imagine what might be the end.

With an excellent performance by the masterful Jonathan Keeble pulling everything together with such erudition, I can highly recommend this book: but it calls for strength of purpose.
My thanks to the rights holders for freely gifting me a copy of The Beginning
