Summary
The Good Assassin tells the true story of how a Mossad agent and Holocaust survivors tracked down Herberts Cukurs, known as the Butcher of Latvia, who murdered thousands of Jews during World War II. Living freely in Brazil under his own name two decades after the war, Cukurs escaped justice until a daring operation brought him to account. Stephan Talty chronicles this covert mission, blending espionage thriller elements with historical documentation to reveal how Nazi war criminals were pursued across continents when official channels failed to deliver justice.
