MARTIN FLETCHER, Jacob’s Oath
Jacob and Sarah are lonely Holocaust survivors who meet in Heidelberg. But Jacob is consumed with hatred and cannot rest until he has killed his brother’s murderer, a concentration camp guard nicknamed the Rat. Jacob and Sarah, the only Jews in Heidelberg, fall in love. As Jacob waits for the Rat to come home, he is beset by doubt. If he fulfills his oath and kills him, he will undoubtedly be caught, and Jacob’s and Sarah’s new life will die too. Timeless dilemmas torture the young lovers and threaten to tear them apart. What is more important, love or hate? The past or the future? Revenge or mercy? Jacob’s Oath is both a painful love story and a riveting thriller with a very tricky ending indeed.
