After the end of the Second World War, Adolf Eichmann, branded an architect of the Final Solution, evaded capture from the Allies for 15 years. Living under a false identity in Argentina, Eichmann is finally abducted by Mossad and brought to Israel to await trial. Without enough evidence to prosecute him, Police Captain Avner Less must extract a confession from the mastermind of the Holocaust.[5]
