Richard Prince, Book 4

By: Alex Gerlis

An incredible spy thriller with a twist you won’t see coming, this is the brilliant conclusion to Alex Gerlis' masterful Richard Prince spy thrillers, perfect for fans of John le Carré and Alan Furst.

The hunt takes them on a perilous journey through Europe, a continent living on its nerves in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. They unearth a secret Nazi escape line funded by British traitors - and it’s one which could lead them to Hitler’s trusted deputy, Martin Bormann But when the Americans become involved, it is no longer certain who’s on which side. Help might come in unlikely places. Can justice be found against the odds...or are they too late?

Critic reviews

"Guaranteed to entertain." (Evening Standard)

Wow! The Crescendo!

This was the best! I loved all the Richard Prince books but this one wrapped it all up. Going to miss there characters!

A Fantastic Series!

The plot.
The historic details, fictionalized and those not.
The development of the characters personal relationships.
The narrator.

The plot lines are woven incredibly well with the integral characters, tracing their steps, following WW II and with the narrator Bush, creates a marvelous tapestry of a lovely and binge-worthy tale.

It’s most definitely worth your time!

Worth conclusion to a great spy series

Alex Gerlis wrote a worthy concluding volume to his World War 2 spy series, Prince of Spies. I enjoyed this book, but loved the series as a whole. This book wasn’t quite as good as number 3 in the series, but I did like it. It dealt with the aftermath of the war and Nazi officials who were taking a hidden route to escape Germany. This is a real-life topic in history that really interests me, but it did fall slightly flat in this book. As a whole, it did seem that Prince played less of a part in this book than in the other books in the series, so I was a little disappointed by that. Still I did enjoy it a lot. Alex Gerlis remains my favorite spy writer, and Rupert Bush is a fantastic narrator.

Different phase of WWII

Interesting and unusual story, good characters and excellent narration.
Book moved briskly but easy to follow.

Great story – sophisticated plot

This is the fourth in the series and the last one and I was very sorry to see it end. A true spy thriller with a realistic plot and a happy ending. We have such safe and relatively peaceful lives compared to those that fought, including my father, in World War II.
