- catalog abstract ""Filming an act of sex in which someone is killed should be the stuff of morbid legend. But as Yaron Svoray, an Israeli investigative journalist discovers, snuff films are terrifyingly real. Since viewing one of these films while working on an expose of the German neo-Nazi movement, Svoray has been haunted by the knowledge of such terrifying, twisted documents. In Gods of Death, Svoray's daring and conviction propel the reader through a harrowing chase full of close calls and awful revelations at every turn. His story is a chilling one, a narrative whose unflinching detail awakens us to a nightmarish reality in which no one can be trusted and absolutes are obsolete." "Using skills learned from his days as a detective and a paratrooper, Svoray descends into an international underground of sex, death, and money in order to investigate the snuff film industry. In a tense and sobering final moment in the war zone that is the former Yugoslavia, Svoray finds what he's been looking for - and it's more than he expected." "In this true account, Svoray emerges as a hero. His conscience and courage make Gods of Death an unforgettable journey into the human heart and all it hides."--Jacket.".
