Her weapons: money and power. Her target: the most dangerous man in the world—her own son. Elizabeth Wyckham Scarlatti has a plan, a desperate, last-minute gamble designed to save the world from her son, Ulster, an incalculably cruel man who is working for the Third Reich under the name of Heinrich Kroeger. If Elizabeth cannot stop him, Ulster will give Hitler the most powerful instrument on earth.

"An American intelligence officer is hired to determine the status of the Scarlatti fortunes and Ulster Scarlett. It all leads to international businessmen who are financing German Nazis. i think this was my very first Ludlum novel. He has since become a favorite author that I can count on for involved plots and lots of action."

The Scarlatti Inheritance Listener Reviews
-
" This is a mildly interesting book about an evil man who is attracted to an evil empire, and the mother who recognizes his evil and sets out to stop him. I give this only a 5 on my scale of 1 to 10. I may read some more of his books to see if they get any better. After all, I saw all 3 of the Jason Bourne movies and thought they were great. "

" Love. Love. Love this book. "
— Lauren, 2/1/2014 -
" It's not Ludlum's best book, but then again it was only his first. it's neat to be able to see his improvement from this to something like The Bourne Identity. "
— Jamie, 1/31/2014 -
" Not good - not bad. After a while Ludlum's books start to seem the same. "
— Mel, 1/9/2014 -
" One of my two favorite Ludlum novels (along with The Gemini Contenders). I thought it was great. "
— Gerald, 1/7/2014 -
" A pretty good historical fiction work by Ludlum. Doesn't deliver on all the promise it holds but still a good, gripping thriller. "
— Jake, 1/6/2014 -
" Quite a good read. Bit naive on the financial issues but not a waste of time. "
— Sahar, 1/2/2014 -

" Found this in a pile of books at my parents house. Read it on trip to Germany and Greece. Was hoping for more - a bit confusing, not the page-turner I wanted. Have several more of Ludlum's to read - this didn't get me ready for them. "
— Elizabeth, 4/10/2013 -
