Wolf Holles' A Semblance of Justice captivates readers with a spine-chilling tale about a dangerous rescue mission and a survivor of war atrocities. Matt suspects that his father, William, has been kidnapped since he stopped answering Matt's voicemails after leaving for a ten-day vacation away from New York. To make matters worse, William appears to be involved with Stettler, a man that he suspects escaped to the US after committing atrocious acts against Jews in World War II. Matt's father, who had been a subject of the cruel treatment against Jews, finds it hard to let go of the resentment he feels toward the Germans. On seeing Stettler, he vows to act and make the man pay for his actions. Is Matt ready to uncover his father's sad past as he attempts to save his father and bring him home?
Readers get not just one story but two amazing stories from two different eras. As the story about Matt's father's possible kidnapping develops in the present, William's story from a thumb drive transports us back to the past and life in the Nazi concentration camps. One theme that stands out is William's outrage and trauma. He narrates painful memories and contemplates profound questions about justice and morality: "If I recall what they did to my family, how can I judge objectively?" I enjoyed the hair-raising scenes and the smart depiction of dangerous, criminal antagonists that sent shivers down my spine. A Semblance of Justice by Wolf Holles is a masterpiece—a page-turner with some striking, unforgettable characters. This book will compel you to feel for its realistic protagonists and read as quickly as you can to find out how it all ends.
