    About this audiobook

    One after another, aged Nazis are being murdered in Europe, South America, and the United States. Enter FBI Special Agent Taz Fallon, who soon discovers the killings aren’t the work of a vigilante bent on revenge for the Holocaust. Instead, they turn out to be part of an elaborate plot to put a new generation of Nazis into power. And the key to the entire scheme is a huge cache of paintings looted by Hitler from Jewish families during the Second World War.

    In The Führer’s Reserve, Paul Lindsay weaves a tale of high stakes art smuggling, vicious homicides, and brilliant investigative prowess. Are Hitler’s stolen masterpieces really hidden somewhere in Illinois? Could a secret Nazi sympathizer, known only as der Kurator, actually sell these works of art to finance a new Fascist movement? Can agent Taz Fallon, working with a beautiful young art historian, risk destroying Rembrandts, Titians, Vermeers, and countless other treasures to stop a Nazi coup? With a storyline as authentic as today’s headlines, Lindsay—a former, highly decorated FBI agent himself—provides page-turning thrills and captivating insights into the way real world sleuths solve unimaginable crimes. It’s no wonder that USA Today has written of Paul Lindsay, “Step aside, John Grisham!”

      The Führer's Reserve by Paul Lindsay is simply a great mystery, detective who-done-it read. It has lots of murder in it, but there isn't much mystery as to who did it, so it can't be termed a 'murder mystery.' Reserve started out as a bedtime read, but soon I could not put it down. From the first page to the last, without a single break, this book is action-packed. While there is romance, there are no sloppy sex scenes thrown in for those readers who cannot get enough for free from the Internet.

      Based in the fact that the WWII machine of Hitler, after sending away many wealthy although still 'inferior', Jews to die in the gas chambers by the millions, then stole and secreted away many of their extremely valuable works of art. (And though this may sound crass, it is fortunate for us today that the Nazis did cherish these paintings and sculptures and such, since in too many past wars, the conqueror--often Muslim--destroyed all the art of the vanquished.)

      In Reserve we meet an FBI agent who occasionally colors outside the lines, a seductive beauty named Sivia, who works to recover stolen WWII art, pitted against a team of ruthless gunmen hired by 21st Century Nazis to recover the huge cache of 80 plus masterpieces known as the 'Führer's Reserve,' so that their future auction might generate the income needed to fund an arisen Nazi Party.

      Decker, the head gunman, studies and gains such an appreciation for art, you know that author Paul Lindsay must be the 'source' of this appreciation, as a few of the re-discovered paintings are described by Decker in such a manner that the reader wants to stop reading and scour the Internet for a visual of the mentioned masterpiece.

      Much like the movies National Treasure and the "Indiana Jones" series, Reserve is a find-and-follow-the-clues, track 'em down adventure, however, involving many more twists, turns, cold blooded murders, double-crosses with occasional bits of the German language thrown in.

      Reserve is a well-written, researched and intricately plotted book that I think anyone, especially those familiar with World War Two, will find exciting and enjoyable.
