Mystery Historical
In this enthralling historical thriller set in post—World
War II London, detective John Henry Rossett must stop a
murderous ex—SS officer as the German occupation of
England begins to falter. Working with the SS in German-occupied Britain was never
easy for John Rossett. Though he’s returned to his former
job, the police inspector has been tainted by his Nazi
associations. His suspicious colleagues see him as a
collaborator, and he’s unwelcome at his old haunts. But
the Germans aren’t done with Rossett. When decorated SS
Captain Karl Bauer kills the US consul in Liverpool, then
goes on the run, Generalmajor Neumann orders Rossett to
find the missing killer—a swift, cunning, and ruthless
man known as "the Bear." While the Nazis still maintain control over London,
Liverpool is run by criminal networks and the British
resistance. A wasteland of burned-out buildings and
mountains of rubble, the northern port city is the
perfect place for a clever warrior like Bauer to hide.
Neumann and Rossett’s search also turns up damning new
information: Bauer’s superior, Major Theo Dannecker, has
been colluding with the US consul and the British
resistance to smuggle large amounts of gold out of the
country. As for the Bear, the fervent SS officer has
repudiated his allegiance to the crumbling Reich and is
now focused on destroying Rossett, the famed "British
Lion," one innocent victim at a time. To prevent more deaths and protect Britain, Rossett must
trap the Bear and uncover a diabolical conspiracy that
has brought Nazi officers and the British resistance
together.
