The Devil's Bookkeepers Book 3: The Noose Closes

By: Mark Newhouse

Narrated by: Louis B. Jack

The end is near....

“What Anne Frank's Diary did to put a face to the plight of Dutch Jews in WWII, The Devil's Bookkeepers does for the Jew in the Lodz ghetto.” (Rita Boehm, Author of Missing on Maple Street and Motivational Speaker)

This is a story of love and courage in the face of unrelenting terror as four men in the Lodz Ghetto struggle to document the tightening of the noose under Nazi rule.

Written by the son of Holocaust survivors, this stunning novel based on events described in the Chronicle of the Lodz Ghetto (Yale University Press, 1984), asks what you would have sacrificed to be one of the few to survive.

The terrors and tales of survival provide a suspenseful conclusion to this multi-award-winning novel series that brings the suffering and hope of the real ghetto inhabitants to life.

"Even if you have not read all of the books in this trilogy, Mr. Newhouse cleverly brings his readers up to speed both by giving us flashback moments to earlier events and reintroducing us to his well defined characters... The Devil's Bookkeepers III is a must read that each of us should devour." (Lois W. Stern, Author and Creator of Tales2Inspire®)

A must read! Tough story that we needs to know

Is a story Of the Lodz getto in Poland. The parallels in the Ukraine demand action by Nato before it is to late.

Newhouse paints a detailed picture of all human feelings

The author leads us through the years of oppression, hunger, fear, depression, confusion, frustration, hope, friendship, tenderness and, yes, love in the setting of just a few characters as they experience this horror in the Łódź ghetto. He takes us through the gradual picking away at this once vibrant city through the eyes of Benny, “the numbers man”, an engineer. I recommend it highly as I came through it with Benny, almost like living it with him. I listened to all three books in this series and being by the same reader, Louis Jack, I feel he communicated all of Benny’s emotions, his loss of his wife and child, his frustration with not understanding what was happening to them and their city, his constant fear, and, in spite of or because of all this, he still had the wherewithal to figure out a way to survive. It’s a beautiful story, not appropriate to use the word beautiful to describe this, but I felt I was Benny or was with him and he made it.
