Fresh Fiction Review

Collision of Evil
John J. Le Beau

Reviewed by Vicky Gilpin
Posted September 16, 2009

Thriller Police Procedural

Born of the fascination readers have of the evils of the past in the form of Nazism and those of the present in connection with modern terrorists, COLLISION OF EVIL strikes a fearsome chord in the heart of the reader. In an interesting narrative style, Le Beau encourages the concept of how actions produce unanticipated consequences far into the future.

After his brother Charles is killed while hiking and climbing in the Upper Bavarian Alps, Robert Hirter begins to investigate why, much to the chagrin of those who would have him leave...and leave well enough alone.

An intense drama, COLLISION OF EVIL immediately sweeps the reader into imagining "what if?" and pondering human motivations for destruction.

SUMMARY

As evening falls against the majestic backdrop of the Bavarian Alps, Charles Hirter, an American tourist, is savagely murdered. In the peace, quiet and pastoral splendor of this magnificent setting, Charles Hirter draws his last breath. Was Charles simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? Kommissar Franz Waldbaer, the German detective in charge of the case, faces an investigation that yields neither clues nor suspects nor motives. A gruff, go-it alone detective, Waldbaer is dismayed by the arrival of Robert Hirter, the victim's brother, who insists on joining the investigation. But there is more to Robert than meets the eye. As Robert and the Kommissar uncover a nefarious nexus of evil past and evil present, they find themselves probing dark, long-forgotten episodes from the Third Reich in order to identify the present threat. Thrust into a violent world of fanatic passions, malevolent intentions and excruciating urgency, Robert Hirter and Kommissar Waldbaer must race against the clock to stop a sophisticated, covert, and deadly plot.
