Evil in High Places

Summary

A film star vanishes from set.
A soldier is shot dead in a woodland pass.
A peaceful village is engulfed in flames.


Munich 1936. The Olympics have arrived and the whole world is watching; the beer halls are full, the streets are busy and the mood is merry. The Nazis have the world's attention, and they're determined to put on a good show.

But the body count is rising and soon Detective Seb Wolff is drawn in a realm where Nazis and aristocrats work as one, where wealth is power and the further you go, the higher a price you have to pay.

From elite German aristocracy to the darkest corners of Dachau, Detective Seb Wolff is about to learn how the hunter becomes the hunted.
