Fünfzehn Jahre haben zwei Männer auf den gleichen Tag gewartet. Für den Juwelenräuber McNeil öffnen sich an diesem Tag die Zuchthaustore. Und für Captain Da Silva kann endlich die Jagd auf McNeils versteckte Beute weitergehen. Doch plötzlich ist es der Detektiv, der durch die Hölle gehetzt wird und für den es weniger um Juwelen geht als ums nackte Leben ... (Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine frühere Ausgabe.)

An SS Colonel plays out a savage masquerade from the death camps of the Third Reich to Israel's desperate fight for survival. 1944: as the German defeat becomes inevitable, SS Colonel Helmut von Schareder, 'The Monster of Maidanek', lays his plans to escape retribution. Through plastic surgery he becomes a Jew, enters Belsen and awaits liberation. But the war has still a year to run and the masquerade turns into a bitter struggle to survive. From the horrors of Belsen to the new state of Israel and, trapped in his own duplicity, Schraeder becomes a soldier for his new homeland and rises to the rank of General. For General Grossman life, with his beautiful Israeli wife, is good until ... the past re-emerges to confront him with its remorseless face as suddenly, for Benjamin Grossman, alias Helmut von Schareder, alias 'The Monster of Maidanek', the PURSUIT begins.
