Elliot Rosenzweig, a respected civic leader and wealthy philanthropist, is attending a fundraiser when he is suddenly accosted and accused of being a former Nazi SS officer named Otto Piatek, the Butcher of Zamosc. Although the charges are denounced as preposterous, his accuser Ben Solomon is convinced he is right and engages attorney Catherine Lockhart to bring Rosenzweig to justice.
Ben insists that he can't be rushed and has to tell his story so that Catherine can understand all the background to decide if she will take the case. As his story unfolds, he draws in Catherine as well as the reader. I found this was mesmerizing and heartbreaking. I agree that I could see this becoming a movie.
