“Schorlau’s detective novels are currently the closest to social reality” Hamburger Abendblatt
A series of murders of former NATO army generals shocks the public. Are government offices carrying out targeted terrorist attacks and political murders in Germany and abroad? Stuttgart private detective Georg Dengler is called in to investigate this case.
In November 2009, retired German army general Klaus Norbert is shot dead in the exclusive New York Harvard Club. His killer escapes unrecognised. The public believes it was work of a madman; the murder makes no sense. But the head of the Federal Office of Criminal Investigation is not so sure. He calls in former top investigator Georg Dengler who discovers a hot lead. Is it possible that Naubert and top government offices were implicated in the attack during the 1980 Oktoberfest? 13 people died and according to official investigations, it was the work of a single perpetrator. Were tracks systematically covered? Are the last accessories now being eliminated? Two more NATO generals are killed. Suddenly, the case becomes too dangerous even for the Federal Office of Criminal Investigation. But Dengler continues to investigate on his own…
Wolfgang Schorlau develops a story based upon real events that takes the reader from the Cold War to the present day, keeping him in suspense until the very last page.
