The Mittenwald Syndicate
The Mittenwald Syndicate by Frederick Nolan. Published by Cassell and Co., Ltd. 348 pp. An immense fortune in gold ingots and precious stones lies buried in the mountains above the village of Mittenwald. It is the remainder of the Reichsbank reserves removed from Berlin by the Nazis but too late for shipment abroad. None of that vast treasure has ever been recovered, that much is fact. This chilling thriller, set in Occupied Germany in
1945 — a country crammed with refugees and still beset with conspiracy — re-creates what might have happened. It is a story of greed, betrayal, treachery, murder and above all revenge. The narrative moves at a fast pace, encouraging the reader to keep turning the pages and unravel the plot. A well-written book, ideal for the devotee of espionage thrillers. A word of warning however; the dialogue contains language which may be offensive to some readers.
