“Be prepared for a wild ride! Jeff Guenther’s delightful new novel, IN THE MOUTH OF THE LION, explores the intriguing idea that Adolf Hitler sought psychoanalysis during WWII with none other than the founder of analytical psychology, Carl Jung. Brilliance is pitted against evil during their fateful meeting, and the tension simmers as Jung struggles to outwit the man who holds the world’s fate in his hands. IN THE MOUTH OF THE LION is a fast-paced tale packed with delightful characters, surprising twists and turns, and a take-your-breath-away ending.” –

“J Guenther’s thought-provoking WW2 novel, In the Mouth of the Lion, involves the reader in a suspenseful “could happen? did happen?” action-packed story. Though fictional, its sound logic led me toward “did happen.” –
