{"product_id":"the-final-reckoning","title":"The Final Reckoning","description":"The story opens with a shocking incident at the United Nations headquarters in New York, where an elderly man is shot by security personnel under suspicion of being a suicide bomber. Former United Nations lawyer Tom Byrne is brought in to handle the fallout: placating the man’s family and containing a potential international scandal. \nAs Byrne digs into the dead man’s past, he discovers that the victim was far from innocent. Alongside Rebecca, the man’s daughter, Byrne uncovers a shadowy brotherhood of Holocaust survivors—a secret network formed after the Second World War that took justice into its own hands by hunting down and killing escaped Nazi war criminals. Their actions, once seen as righteous vengeance, have carried on for decades and grown increasingly murky. \nThe investigation propels Byrne and Rebecca from London back to Manhattan, unraveling hidden ties, dangerous agendas, and a legacy of violence and secrecy that powerful forces are desperate to keep buried. Byrne must navigate shifting loyalties and deadly threats while confronting difficult questions about justice, revenge, and the weight of history. \nBlending thriller pacing with historical intrigue, the novel explores how unresolved trauma from the Holocaust continues to shape the present, forcing its characters to face moral ambiguity and the harrowing costs of confronting long-buried truths. \nTidy condition, minor water damage to the first pages. Binding very good.","brand":"Simon And Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Good \/ 790e12f0b30","offer_id":48068106944663,"sku":"9780007266500-GD-000130001","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/71yvxPjkEDL._SY466.jpg?v=1785060264","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/the-final-reckoning","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
