The Reinhard Action

"David David, née Davidowitz, is the manufacturer of Double D jeans, and a very wealthy resident of Los Angeles. His childhood victimization by the Nazis is long behind him, practically a part of another lifetime. Or so David thinks until the morning he sees an advertisement in the paper for the fabulously expensive and unique Princess Pauline Bonaparte necklace. The last time David saw this necklace it was in his mother's possession at Auschwitz, shortly before the greatest tragedy of David's young life. In trying to trace the necklace from Auschwitz to Los Angeles, David uncovers a powerful interational neo-Nazi conspiracy. And he meets Esther, adopted daughter of the jeweler who is crucially important to David's quest. Esther is even more eager than David to find out about the Princess Pauline necklace -- and so is her government ... This fast-moving, exciting thriller is based on the actual seizure of jewels by the Nazis during World War II, an operation that was code-named Aktion Reinhard. It is a powerfully emotional novel, from its harrowing depiction of life in the concentration camps to the deeply felt love between David and Esther." --
