The Body Snatcher

Alex Taylor is born with the inability to speak, but he has a strange power to compensate...he can snatch bodies, i.e., swap his body for another person's. With no visible means of supports and no great knowledge of anything practical, Alex takes his talent on the road as a caberet act, i.e., "The Body Snatcher," for the delight and amusement of crowds throughout England and Europe. Touring Berlin, however, shortly after the fall of France, Alex is deprived of his livelihood when he becomes a suspect for spying and for the stealing of state secrets (for which, of course, he is guilty). In order to get out of Nazi Germany alive, he decides that he has to make one last big score...as he attempts to seize the body of the most important man on the continent, the one man who could stop the insanity of the Final Solution and of World War II itself...Adolph Hitler.

This fast paced novella will keep you guessing until the end...Alex, Alex, where is Alex?...like a shell game on steroids.
