Publisher's Synopsis
When World War II ends, headlines convince the world Adolf Hitler is dead. But is he? First into Berlin, the Russians claim bones in a scorched bunker are Hitler's. But are they? Could there be another explanation for Adolf Hitler's disappearance from Germany at war's end? The aftermath of the Warsaw Uprising leaves homes in rubble, lives lost or left dire. From the smoke and ash of the German bombardment, a Phoenix rises. Three men and a woman, young and dedicated, conjure up a plan to capture Hitler and bring him to justice. But do they, when German officers attempt to assassinate him and cannot? When the Nazi hierarchy realizes their Fuhrer is gone, they substitute another to keep Germany's continuity of command. Was Hitler kidnapped? Or had the young Poles captured a double, a Doppelganger? The protagonist in Doppelganger, Solomon Salowezzi, is the first African Mossad agent in the new millennium. Some in Israeli intelligence do not trust him, because of his relationship with a childhood Palestinian friend. Garamond 'Gary' lGruber, a prominent U.S Congressman plans to execute Aryan ambitions more coarse than those of the World War II Fuhrer. Emily lGruber-Smyth, the congressman's niece and FBI agent team with Salowezzi. Neither they, nor the plurality of Jews in the congressional district lGruber represents is aware of the Congressman's political conviction.
