Publisher Description

The Spandau Diary -- what was in it? Why did the secret intelligence agencies of every major power want it? Why was a brave and beautiful woman kidnapped to get it? Why did a chain of deception and violent death lash out across the globe, from survivors of the Nazi past to warriors in this new conflict about to explode? Why did the world's entire history of World War II have to be rewritten as the future hung over a nightmare abyss?

"Suspense, action novel revolves around the mystery of the disappearance of Rudolph Hess on a flight to Scotland in May 1941. Was he captured and held in Spandau prison in Berlin until he died in 1987 or was that his trained double? It's still an unsolved mystery about WW2, and England has yet to declassified Hess papers and documents."

    " Spandau Phoenix was my first Greg Iles book. And I like his style. I just bought 6 more of his books at a used-book warehouse. It'll be hard to decide which one I'll read next. I could have given this book 5 stars if it had been a little more suspenseful. But it was still a fun read nonetheless. "

    " The sequel to Black Cross, but the characters are much older. Not as spellbinding as Black Cross but still a very worthy read. Would be best to read the two books one after the other so you don't forget characters and can pick up right where you left off. "
