    About this audiobook

    In the spring of 1944, I realized that I was not going to survive the war…

    Shtefan Brandt, adjutant to a colonel of the Waffen SS, has made it through the war so far in spite of his commander’s habit of bringing his staff into combat, and a pair of secrets that are far more dangerous than the battlefield. Shtefan is a Mischling and one of the thousands of German citizens of Jewish descent who have avoided the death camps by concealing themselves in the ranks of the German army. And he is in love with Gabrielle Belmont, the colonel’s French mistress. Either of those facts could soon mean his end, were Colonel Erich Himmel to notice.

    Colonel Himmel has other concerns, however. He can see the war’s end on the horizon and recognizes that he is not on the winning side, no matter what the reports from Hitler’s generals may say. So he has taken matters into his own hands, hatching a plot to escape Europe. To fund his new life, he plans to steal a fortune from the encroaching Allies. A fortune that Shtefan, in turn, plans to steal from him…

    Atmospheric and intense, The Soul of a Thief captures the turbulent emotional rush of those caught behind the lines of occupied France, where one false step could spell death, and every day brings a new struggle to survive.

      I’m a man who doesn’t like love stories or romances, but I thoroughly enjoyed what in a lesser talented writer’s hands, would have certainly been a rather otherwise mundane love story involving a triangle between a rather psychopathic German SS officer, his half Jewish assistant and a French Jewess, set in the battle zone during WWII.

      Hartov artfully allows us to effortlessly suspend our disbelief and seduces the reader with the soft touch of his muscular yet somehow tender prose in this excellent novel disguised as first person memoir.

      I look forward to reading more by this talented writer.
