A gripping story about the power of an unresolved past and the necessity of forgiveness, The Last Man twists like a thriller, but has the truth-seeking depth of great fiction.
Gerta Wahljak is haunted by a photograph of ten Nazi officers taken in the concentration camp where she was imprisoned during the Holocaust. For decades, she has traced the fates of all these men except one. Until now. While Gerta waits in a cardiologist’s office, she sees another patient who she is almost sure is the last man. She will not be at peace until she knows.
After interviewing Gerta, assistant U.S. Attorney David Keegan is shocked to learn that he is closely linked to the man he’s investigating. For the man accused of being a former Nazi is none other than Frederick Schiller, married to a renowned Jewish activist and the father of the woman Keegan loves. Now Keegan, a man also haunted by his past, must decide whether to risk his career to help the parents of the woman he loves. . . .
