Marathon Man: A Novel

A Nazi conspiracy in the heart of modern-day Manhattanâ€”the blockbuster New York Times bestseller that became the classic film thriller.

At Columbia University, Thomas â€œBabeâ€ Levy, a postgrad history student and aspiring marathon runner, is working to clear his late fatherâ€™s name after the scandal of his suicide, triggered by the McCarthy hearings and accusations of Communist affiliations.
Â
In Paraguay, Dr. Christian Szell, former Nazi dentist and protÃ©gÃ© of Josef Mengele, has been in exile for decades. Infamous as the â€œWhite Angel of Auschwitz,â€ heâ€™s leaving his South American sanctuary to smuggle a fortune in gems out of New York City.
Â
Meanwhile, in Londonâ€™s Kensington Gardens, an international assassin known only as Scylla has completed a hit. A man with too many secrets and twice as many enemies, Scylla has become a target himself, with only one place left to turn.
Â
Then, when Babeâ€™s revered older brother, Doc, pays him a fateful and unexpected visit, it sets in motion a chain of events plunging Babe into a paranoid nightmare of family betrayal, international conspiracy, and the dark crimes of history. Now, the marathon man is running for his life, and closer to answering a single cryptic and terrifying question: â€œIs it safe?â€
Â
William Goldmanâ€™s Marathon Man was adapted by the author for the award-winning 1976 film starring Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier. Upon its publication, the Washington Post called it â€œone of the best novels of the year,â€ and it remains a powerful, horrifying read. In the words of #1 New York Timesâ€“bestselling author Harlan Coben: â€œI found myself racing through it. You could have put a gun to my head, and I wouldnâ€™t have been able to put [Marathon Man] down.â€
