“Charles Stransky skillfully narrates this intriguing story. His resonant baritone moves at a pace that is quite easy to follow and comfortable.”

“Reads like a wild cross between Raiders of the Lost Ark and the novels of Michael Connelly. . . . Narrator Charles Stransky’s (Red Moon Rising) tension-filled performance is spectacular. Recommended.”
      —Library Journal [starred review]

“A fast moving account filled with surprising twists, turns, and revelations.”

“Hitler’s Holy Relics is a history buff’s dream come true—it’s both a thrilling page-turner and a work of outstanding original research. Mix together the Indiana Jones blockbusters with the best of the History Channel, add a dash of Dan Brown, and you get Hitler’s Holy Relics.”
      —Debby Applegate, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Most Famous Man in America

“In Hitler’s Holy Relics, Sidney Kirkpatrick takes the reader on a page-turning mystery, a suspenseful adventure story across a devastated postwar Germany, and—not least—an eerie, thought-provoking journey into the mystical origins of Nazism and the plans for a Fourth Reich. You are locked into this true tale as Walter Horn—detective, soldier, art historian, and psychologist—tries to solve an intriguing and complex mystery that is not simply about the past but also resonates into the future.”
      —Howard Blum, Edgar Award–winning author of American Lightning

“If Kirkpatrick had presented this story as a novel, it would have been criticized as far-fetched. Yet the facts, meticulously researched, speak for themselves. The Nazis’ vast looting operations went far beyond a desire for mere riches. Hitler sought nothing less than the creation of a Holy Reich. Kirkpatrick’s thriller-packed account of Walter Horn, art historian turned Army sleuth, may well prompt a critical reevaluation of Nazi ideology for a new generation of World War II scholars.”
      —Digby Diehl, former editor of the Los Angeles Times Book Review and coauthor of A Spy for All Seasons

“Sidney Kirkpatrick’s Hitler’s Holy Relics is narrative history at its very finest. Beautifully written, brilliantly researched, this spine-chilling true story had me gripped from first page until the last.”
      —Alex Kershaw, author of The Bedford Boys

“A superbly written and incredible-but-true, larger-than-life tale of World War II plunder, skullduggery, mysticism, and madness.”
      —Kenneth D. Alford, author of Nazi Plunder and World War II history consultant

      —The New York Times, on The Revenge of Thomas Eakins

“The explosive true story that proves there are still a few heroes left in the world. . . . Riveting, like a James Bond thriller!”
      —The Washington Post, on Turning the Tide
