Munich, 1935 - The Bavarian capital is a magnet for young, aristocratic Britons who come to learn German, swim in the lakes and drink beer in the cellars.
What they don't see - or choose to ignore - is the brutal underbelly of the Nazi movement which considers Munich its spiritual home.
When a high-born English girl is murdered, Detective Sebastian Wolff is ordered to solve the crime. Wolff is already walking a tight line between doing his job and falling foul of the political party he abhors. Now Hitler is taking a personal interest in the case.
Followed by the secret police and threatened by his own son, a fervent member of the Hitler Youth, the stakes have never been higher. And when Wolff begins to suspect that the killer might be linked to the highest reaches of the Nazi hierarchy, he fears his task is simply impossible - and that he might become the next victim.

London. 1945. The capital is shrouded in the darkness of the
blackout, and mystery abounds in the parks after dusk. During a
stroll through Regent's Park, Bruce Mallaig witnesses two men
acting suspiciously around a footbridge. In a matter of moments,
one of them has been murdered; Mallaig's view of the assailant but
a brief glimpse of a ghastly face in the glow of a struck match.
The murderer's noiseless approach and escape seems to defy all
logic, and even the victim's identity is quickly thrown into
uncertainty. Lorac's shrewd yet personable C.I.D. man MacDonald
must set to work once again to unravel this near-impossible
mystery.
