My thanks to the Author publisher's and NetGalley for providing me with a Kindle version of this book to read and honestly review. Author of the excellent Eagles of the Empire series you would expect this to be well researched and written, and you would also expect superb characterisation throughout and this book the second in the series does not disappoint. There are some references to the first story but can be read as a standalone story. Atmospheric clever descriptive intelligent with a real feel for time and place. Completely gripping from first to last page though be warned not the most pleasant murders to investigate. Completely and totally recommended. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

One freezing night, an SS doctor and his wife return from an evening mingling with their fellow Nazis at the concert hall. By the time the sun rises, the doctor will be lying lifeless in a pool of blood. Was it murder or suicide? Criminal Inspector Horst Schenke is told that under no circumstances should he investigate. The doctor's widow, however, is convinced her husband was the target of a hit. But why would anyone murder an apparently obscure doctor? Compelled to dig deeper, Schenke learns of the mysterious death of a child. The cases seem unconnected, but soon chilling links begin to emerge that point to a terrifying secret. Even in times of war, under a ruthless regime, there are places in hell no man should ever enter. And Schenke fears he may not return alive... No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

At its heart this is a superior police procedural, however the setting lifts it beyond the mundane. the stories revolve around Nazi policies and their effects on the main part of the populace, those who cannot voice their distaste and those who blindly follow orders. In that respect these stories work incredibly well. Scarrow is a professional writer who knows how to put together a solid thriller and the sense of time and place is excellent. ( )
