Our view
“The Odessa File” is a gripping hunt for a network of former SS men who, twenty years after the war, still pursue Hitler’s aims. Much of the novel follows its hero on the road, and some readers relish the long, fast drives across Germany in his sports car. It suits readers who like thrillers set in the long shadow of the Second World War.
