...Adolf Hitler initially led his party in a reckless, illegal quest for power, culminating in the abortive Munich putsch in 1923.

U.S. intelligence, with help from his abandoned wife and widowed mother, pursues Scarlatti through the capitals of the world, encountering murder, madness and megalomania among the high and the mighty. The plot is pure kitsch, but does occasionally clutch, and the reader rests assured that the damned indeed are doomed...
