CI Schenke 4

di Simon Scarrow (Autore)

Headline, 2027

May 1940. Nazi Party propaganda indicates that the war is nearly won, but disturbing news of casualties makes for a tense atmosphere in Berlin. Violent crime is growing, with arrogant members of the Hitler Youth amongst the worst culprits. When a young man of the group is found brutally murdered, Criminal Inspector Schenke is called in. The crime has occurred outside his precinct, but the dead boy's uncle is Gestapo, and SS Gruppenfuhrer Heydrich wants Schenke to investigate. Or, rather, to focus on one suspect to the exclusion of all others. Schenke is determined to discover the truth rather than follow instructions from on high. Evidence seems too easily discovered, while the accounts shared by the victim's fellow Hitler Youths are disturbingly similar in every detail. But if Schenke pushes his search for the truth too far, will his luck finally run out, as the might of a ruthless regime is turned against him? The stunning new World War 2 thriller from the bestselling author of Blackout and A Death in Berlin. Acclaim for Simon Scarrow's bestselling Schenke novels: 'Gripping, with an electric atmosphere and cracking pace' Sun 'Wonderfully compelling' Peter James 'Taut and chilling' Anthony Horowitz 'Mesmerising. Nail-biting. Unputdownable' Damien Lewis
