I really enjoyed this book. I was surprised to find it's the 12th of 15 in the Billy Boyle series. I had only read the first.
The book is based on how the supposedly neutral Swiss actually favored the Nazis during World War II and made a lot of money in the process. It's estimated Switzerland took in over five hundred seventy-nine million dollars looted from Nazi victims.
Enter Billy Boyle and his friend Piotr Kazimierz working with the Office of Strategic Services to investigate Swiss banks laundering Nazi gold. While Billy and Kaz fail to expose the Swiss complicity with the Nazis, they do manage to retrieve some monies stolen by the Nazis and set up a fund for Jews who survive the war.
The Devouring is a good book; I want to read more about Billy and Kaz.
