Review: The Raven Affair
“Frighteningly Good” – The Raven Affair is a fast-moving suspense that pulls you in from page one.
The sense of urgency that Nedelton creates from the get-go grows exponentially as the tale progresses. Raven is a hired hand, on the trail of a war criminal, but he soon finds his assignment isn’t what it seems. This book is dynamic and frighteningly believable, full of complex plot twists and sinister intellectual questions that, remarkably, kept this reader hooked.
The Raven Affair is destined to be adapted for the big screen. I found myself envisioning the scenes as I went along–quickly–unable to put the damn thing down.

So, with the end of World War II long since passed and an infamous war criminal still on the loose, Interpol agents desperate to bring the sadistic killer to justice have no other option but to call on the only one even more vicious than he is…little does The Raven know, though, his handlers have much more sinister plans in mind for his well-honed services…
Taut, engaging, and supremely well written, The Raven Affair is a superb instant classic. With more than its fair share of break-neck action and mind-numbing suspense, author Steven Nedelton’s compelling political thriller is a fast-paced page turner, the literary equivalent of such silver screen jewels as the Bourne series. Further bolstering the high-stakes mystery tale is a highly believable central storyline of murder and mayhem in the name of global domination – quite the tantalizing fodder for fans of complex narratives involving intricate conspiracy theories brought to vivid life on the page.
With nonstop action and intriguing, well defined characters, The Raven Affair is a bona fide literary thrill ride guaranteed not to disappoint.
