Review & Description
To sixteen-year old runaway Lara Aslan, the new friends she finds in the secretive Patriot Front are the family she’s never had. They feed her when she’s hungry, watch her back and provide her with shelter at the home of infamous Holocaust denier Heinz Zimmer, whose web of hate connects neo-Nazis worldwide.
Under the guidance of the mysterious Markus Bellow, the covert leader of the Patriot Front, Lara swiftly undergoes a radical transformation that integrates weapon-training, combat skills and information-gathering tactics to produce the perfect terrorist. Thinking it’s all a game, Lara doesn’t know that the Patriot Front will stop at nothing to achieve their clandestine aim. The Patriot Front, in turn, is not aware of Lara’s own dark, long-buried secrets, which come to light on the heels of a brutal attack.
Forced to confront her own past, Lara knows she has to take swift action before it’s too late. With the help of a middle-aged French journalist and a lesbian police officer, Lara begins to spy on Heinz Zimmer and the Patriot Front. But the deeper she delves into their network of hatred, the deadlier her quest becomes.
INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY
A gripping, fast-paced storyline inspired by actual events, Race Traitor blends the thrilling joyride of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with the haunting poetry of The Kite Runner. An unforgettable journey into the darkness of the human heart, this is a tale that is sure to stay with you long after the book has ended.
