Daddy
The novel Daddy is a historical fiction/thriller takes place during World War II. Because this book is more of a thriller than a historical novel, the author’s purpose in writing this book is to entertain the reader rather than educate them, although he ended up doing so in the process. Hans Thomas von Gall is an elderly German banker, who has fooled the Nazi’s. He has hidden the sum of 724 million marcs (approx. 431 million dollars) of German investor’s money, some Jewish, out of the country before the start of World War II. After being captured and tortured by the Nazi’s for ten hours, he committed suicide by jumping out of a window, but not before writing down 724 false names and access codes. Heydrich, leader of the operation, has reason to believe that Thomas Von Gall is not the only one who knew the secret codes.

Thomas did not have to worry about Hess, though, because Laemmle murdered him. Later though, Thomas finally met up with Laemmle for the last time and gave the order for Miquel to kill Laemmle, in which Miquel shot him between the eyes.

This author hasn’t printed any sources or footnotes. He hasn’t made it clear that what he writes may or may not be true. Even still, he focused on a big topic (big business in wartime) in which David Quartermain researched.
