Reseña del editor

Nazi-occupied Budapest, Winter 1944. The Russians are smashing through the German lines. Miklos Farkas breaks out of the Jewish ghetto to find food - at the Nazis' headquarters. There he is handed a stolen copy of The Budapest Protocol, detailing the Nazis post-war plans. Miklos knows it must stay hidden forever if he is to stay alive. Present day Budapest. As the European Union launches the election campaign for the first President of Europe, Miklos Farkas is brutally murdered. His journalist grandson Alex buries his grief to track down the killers. He soon unravels a chilling conspiracy rooted in the dying days of the Third Reich, one that will ensure Nazi economic domination of Europe - and a plan for a new Gypsy Holocaust. The hunt is on for The Budapest Protocol. Alex is soon drawn deeper into a deadly web of intrigue and power play, a game played for the highest stakes: the very future of Europe. Powerful, controversial and thought-provoking, especially given the rise in prominence of Right Wing extremism in Europe, The Budapest Protocol is a journey into Europe's hidden heart of darkness...

'A first class political thriller.' - Alan Furst

'The Budapest Protocol is a stylish, sophisticated, and exciting political thriller with all the haunting mystery of mitteleuropa, and the fascinations of a sinister, tainted past and a glitzy, corrupt present. A wonderful read that takes the reader into new worlds.' - Simon Sebag Montefiore

'If this novel was a handbag it would be a black Chanel -beautifully made, perfect for every occasion and just a little old-fashioned (in a good way)... LeBor is a distinguished writer of non-fiction and his first novel shows that he's just as good at making it up.' - The Times

'Adam LeBor has deployed the [thriller] format with delicacy, reverence, expertise and (the acid test for even the darkest plots) charm.' - Daily Telegraph

'A page-turning thriller with a meaty conspiracy theory that is rooted in historical fact and bristling with warnings against complacency. Would that all debut novels were so ambitious, timely and relevant.' - Irish Times

'A thoroughly enjoyable debut.' - Jewish Chronicle
