Review

A simply riveting read from cover to cover. "The Keller Papers" by Ellis M. Goodman is a fast-paced deftly crafted, consistently compelling espionage story that is based in 1980s Eastern Europe, and includes factual events and personalities of the time -- some of whom having once again become relevant in today's strained East/West political environment. "The Keller Papers" clearly documents novelist Ellis Goodman as a master of the suspense/thriller genre. While certain to be an enduringly popular addition to community library General Fiction collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that "The Keller Papers" is also available in a Kindle format. - Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Writers are generally best when they write what it is they know

Suspenseful with twists and turns, author Ellis Goodman offers a surprise around every corner and in every chapter, weaving international Cold War intrigue between European players. His riveting global scenario forces a collision of characters from Britain, Solidarity's Poland, post-war Nazi Germany, Argentina, Australia, and of course Communist Russia, all accurately set in an historical context. Writers are generally best when they write what it is they know ... I am amazed by how much Goodman knows and how clever and articulate he is in presenting it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would have never thought ...
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017
I would have never thought that a piece of Jewish history, as sad as the Holocaust, and a fast-paced action-movie-style espionage story could, by the power of creative imagination, be put together side by side and successfully coexist in an exciting read. ‘The Keller Papers’ proves they can.
The book is a sequel to the author’s first novel ‘Bear Any Burden’ published in 2008. We meet again with the main characters - Professor Erik Keller, a world-renowned nuclear physicist who lives and works in the post-war Poland; Anna Kaluza, daughter of Polish aristocrats born in the Soviet Union labor camp and who came to Poland after WWII to reunite with her family; Sir Alex Campbell, Chairman of one of the UK’s largest international drinks company; Tim Bevans, Sir Alex’s old friend from the times of WWII and now the head of MI6. The story revolves around the professor’s papers containing notes on his nuclear research for more than 20 years. They are left behind when, in the early 1980s, the professor is trying to defect from Poland to the West. Something goes terribly wrong in Vienna, the last stop before the final destination, when during an assassination attempt the professor is seriously injured and his wife killed. They were travelling under the false names and only few people knew about it. Were they betrayed? Who betrayed them? MI6 has devised a plan how to get the Keller’s papers and bring them to London. Tim Bevans once again asks his friend Sir Alex Campbell to do ‘a little job’ for ‘Queen and country’. Sir Alex has also a private interest in the matter – he may be related to the professor, a Holocaust survivor who thinks he is the only one alive of all his large family. There are some new characters as well - an Austrian wine magnate Karl von Schuyler, a Nazi SS officer Franz Stauben, a KGB major Sergei Malenkov and Neil Jordan, Anna’s driver from the British Embassy who turns out to be not exactly who we thought he was. And who in this story is?... They are all tied together in a complex knot full of action, intrigue and unexpected turns. A mystery, a thriller or a suspense story? All in one. Will justice prevail? How will it all work out for the professor, Anna and Sir Alex? We won't know until the very end. Happy reading!

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2020
The Keller Papers is jam-packed with adventure, mystery and emotion. Goodman really takes the reader to 80's Europe during the Cold War. I personally loved MI6 agent Anna Kaluza's story—wonderful and heartbreaking. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Cold War history and espionage/thrillers genres.
