Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Jason Culp reads this well-researched account of the sixteen-year ordeal to find Eichmann and bring him to justice…Culp reads with precision, directness, and focus…He makes the complicated story easy to follow with accented character voices and conveys a palpable sense of the fear and tension endured in dangerous and fraught circumstances. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
“Thriller fans will find all their favorite plot points here, from disguises and coded messages to abduction and interrogation, and Bascomb keeps on the right side of the fine line that distinguishes suspense from sensationalism.” Horn Book Guide
“Bascomb has a knack for turning complex detail into a suspenseful, heart-pounding narrative…The depth of research in this fine work is evident in the level of information provided.” School Library Journal
“Draw[s] on a wealth of sources that include original interviews…Tension rises from the pages, thanks to Bascomb’s command of pacing, judicious use of quoted material…and strong descriptions. It’s nonfiction as thriller.” Kirkus Reviews
“This spy story displays all of the characteristics of the genre…The plot is timed to the second to kidnap Eichmann…[and] fosters the kind of tension only a well-written thriller can create.” VOYA
“Bascomb has shortened and changed much of the language of his successful 2009 adult title Hunting Eichmann but kept every bit of the suspense…This is a splendid example of fascinating storytelling blended with significant historical events.” Booklist
“In this thrilling James Bond–style book, Bascomb includes daring escapes, fake identities, captures, secret rooms constructed within houses, a human-size storage compartment in a caterer’s cart, secret missions, and action normally seen in spy thrillers…While the story reads easily, the content is deep and I would highly recommend it.” TeenReads.com
