The Boys from Brazil - Ira Levin 1976 - Michael Joseph, London - First English Edition A fine copy in fine dust jacket and with price intact to front flap (usually found with the price clipped off). The basis for Shaffner’s 1978 film, which was nominated for three academy awards, and starred Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier alongside James Mason and Denholm Elliot.

‘one of the strangest and most masterful novels of Ira Levin’s career. Why has Mengele marked a number of harmless aging men for murder? What is the hidden link that binds them? What interest can they possibly hold for their killers: six former SS men dispatched from South America by the most wanted Nazi still alive, the notorious “Angel of Death“? One man alone must answer these questions and stop the killings—Lieberman, himself ageing and thought by some to be losing his grip on reality.

At the heart of The Boys from Brazil lies a frightening contemporary nightmare, chilling and all too possible.’ [Simon & Schuster]
