About this product

Product Information

I intend to form my religion on the Parsifal legend. It is more than a religion. It is the collective will of a new race of men, a bold, imperious, violent, cruel generation-that is what I want. Adolf Hitler,1931 Joachim Kohler, Wagner's Hitler Germany, 1931. A shadowy plot by reactionary industrialists to assassinate President Hindenburg and elevate the Kaiser's son to the German throne threatens the peace of Europe and sets off an epic quest to discover the secret hiding place of an ancient Christian artifact-the Spear of Destiny, the lance which pierced the side of Christ on the cross. Kaiser Wilhem II insists that the missing spear-a talisman of bloodthirsty conquerors from Constantine to Charlemagne to Frederick the Great-must be found and restored to his family as Frederick's heirs. But Frederick the Great is also deeply revered by Adolf Hitler, the leader of Germany's second largest party, who wants the spear every bit as much as the Kaiser. So does Winston Churchill, out of power and growling in the political wilderness. Through his private intelligence network, he has gotten wind of the two German tyrants' obsession with the spear and is determined to deny them a symbol that has led in the past to so much bloodshed. Churchill enlists Mattie McGary, an adventure-seeking Scottish photojournalist for the Hearst media empire, to embark upon a quest to locate the spear and vindicate the vision of her late, grail-scholar father. At the same time, he persuades Mattie's lover, Bourke Cockran Jr., a law professor and former counterintelligence agent, to represent a US company being victimized by a Nazi extortion racket run in Munich by the SS, Hitler's praetorian guard. Mattie's quest leads her to a mysterious villa in Egypt and then to a mountain stronghold high in the Austrian Alps, attacked repeatedly by the SS as well as religious fanatics sworn to protect the secret of the spear's location. Unknown to Mattie, the ruthless and charismatic leader of her expedition is intent on delivering the spear to the Kaiser and leaving her for dead. Learning Mattie's life is in danger, Cockran races against time to save the woman he loves while Mattie, in turn, must resist her growing attraction to the Kaiser's man if she is to succeed in her quest to find the Spear of Destiny and deny it to both the Kaiser's reactionaries and Hitler's SS zealots. Rich in period detail, The Parsifal Pursuit is an historical thriller evoking the era of the early 1930s when Hitler, Churchill and Mussolini were all under exclusive contract to write for William Randolph Hearst. It recalls a time when fledgling European democracies created in the aftermath of the Treaty of Versailles were under attack from authoritarian enemies on the left and the right alike while the fate of western civilization hung in the balance.
