The Munich Affair

Instant New York Times Bestseller!

"The Munich Affair is a master class in tension and a perfect historical thriller.” —Martha Hall Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls

“This World War II-era thriller feels startlingly modern and essential. As you watch a detective, a journalist, a resistance leader, and a professor race to solve past crimes, the boundaries of time quickly give way to pure suspense.” —Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of The Nazi Conspiracy

A suspenseful thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author, James Patterson, that spans a century—set in motion by the murder of Adolf Hitler's young lover by his own hand.

A determined detective, Thomas Bauer, obsessively pursues Hitler—putting Bauer’s Jewish wife and children in grave danger.

A courageous journalist, Fritz Gerlich, writes story after story detailing the murder—making Gerlich a target for Hitler’s Gestapo.

An American professor, Eleanor Robbins, picks up the trail of evidence from present-day Neo-Nazis guarding the Führer’s long-held secrets to the death.

“Much more than a historical murder mystery, this lively and engaging story—from two masters at the top of their game—reminds us that 'those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' You need to read this one and never forget.” —Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author
