About this product
Product Information
Europe, 1944- Captain Billy Boyle and his friend Lieutenant Piotr "Kaz" Kazimierz are sent to neutral Switzerland to work with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), investigating Swiss banks that are laundering looted Nazi gold. The US and Swiss governments are about to embark on diplomatic discussions regarding the Safehaven Protocols, aimed at limiting the amount of war materials exported by Switzerland to the Nazis, stemming the tide of looted gold, and preventing postwar use of Nazi wealth by war criminals. With the talks about to begin and the Gestapo ever present, the OSS wants Billy and Kaz to protect the participants, which turns out to be a very deadly task. The plans go wrong from the beginning when Billy and Kaz crashland in France. As they make their way through occupied territory to the border, they meet Anton Lasho, a member of the Sinti ethnic group, whose family was slaughtered by the Nazis, and who is, in turn, a one-man Nazi-killing machine. They'll need his help, because as they find once they make it across the border, Swiss banks are openly laundering gold "harvested" from concentration camps, and those who are profiting will do everything they can to protect their wealth and hide their dark secrets.

Nominated for the 2018 Macavity Award / Sue Feder Memorial Award for Best Historical Novel Praise for The Devouring "This is the twelfth installment of the Billy Boyle World War II Mysteries, and these creations just keep getting better and better." --Suspense Magazine " The Devouring is packed with the action we have come to expect from the Billy Boyle books. The combination of history, action and suspense in the Billy Boyle novels continues to be irresistible--it''s one of the best crime novel series." --Connecticut News "Suspenseful . . . Benn does his usual excellent job of incorporating historical background into a fast-paced plot, which barely slows down on the way to the satisfactory resolution." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "Benn''s 12th World War II mystery keeps the action coming, with a nifty whodunit chaser." -- Kirkus Reviews "Benn molds an entertaining story out of Billy and his cohorts'' encounters with odious Swiss bankers and a cadre of Gestapo agents stationed in Bern to protect the loot. Great history here." -- Booklist "Extensive historical and military contextual detail, copious suspense, plenty of action, and the innate politics of power are distinctive traits of this acclaimed World War II-set series. Absorbing . . . Should appeal to historical fiction fans, mystery readers, and military buffs." -- Library Journal "Gripping . . . If you''re in need of a dose of adrenaline, then look no further." -- BookPage "A white-knuckle adventure from the start. . . In The Devouring , Benn has created yet another thoroughly entertaining historical mystery page-turner that is filled with bountiful amounts of action and adventure. His ability to bring fresh understanding to an already well written about period of history is refreshing." --New York Journal of Books "Thrilling . . . James Benn is a master of mystery novels. Benn has done another masterful job of maintaining the suspense and fast-paced action at Mach speed right up to last edge-of-your-seat moment." --Critics on the Aisle "Part whodunit, part MacGuffin, part spy novel and a beautifully and poignantly written war story, The Devouring is a multi-layered and artfully synthesized novel." -- The Day Praise for the Billy Boyle series "Spirited wartime storytelling." --The New York Times Book Review "A fast-paced saga set in a period when the fate of civilization still hangs in the balance." -- The Wall Street Journal "A complex tale that maps the human cost of warfare in the South Pacific--and delivers a deft portrait of a young Jack Kennedy struggling to recover from the losses of PT-109. Poignant and riveting." --Francine Mathews, author of JACK1939 "Cleverly told . . . the book weaves fascinating military facts with obscure historical details about the islands and native life." -- The Arizona Republic "One of Mr. Benn''s best books of the series . . . A pleasure to read." --Seattle Post-Intelligencer "[An] excellent eighth Billy Boyle whodunit . . . The superior plot and thoughtful presentation of institutional racism directed against American soldiers about to risk their lives for their country make this one of Benn''s best." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "A smart, fast-paced, action-packed historical mystery series replete with liberal dashes of humor and romance providing broad appeal to readers of military history, thrillers and mysteries. He deftly combines a mélange of edge-of-your seat suspenseful situations with historical accuracy and engaging literary references." --BookTrib " The series as a whole is the best set of wartime novels since those of the legendary Nevil Shute." -- BookPage "These creations just keep getting better and better." --Suspense Magazine "Terrific . . . Razor sharp." --Joseph Finder "Billy Boyle gets better and better. This is a must-read series." --Lee Child "Full of action, humor and heart." --Louise Penny, Praise for The Devouring "This is the twelfth installment of the Billy Boyle World War II Mysteries, and these creations just keep getting better and better." --Suspense Magazine " The Devouring is packed with the action we have come to expect from the Billy Boyle books.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
