** LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA HISTORICAL DAGGER ** THE WESTERN FRONT,
JULY 1918. Gregor Reinhardt is a young lieutenant in a stormtrooper
battalion on the Western Front when one of his subordinates is
accused of murdering a group of officers, and then subsequently
trying to take his own life. Not wanting to believe his friend
could have done what he is accused of, Reinhardt begins to
investigate. He starts to uncover the outline of a conspiracy at
the heart of the German army, a conspiracy aimed at ending the war
on the terms of those who have a vested interest in a future for
Germany that resembles her past. The investigation takes him from
the devastated front lines of the war, to the rarefied heights of
society in Berlin, and into the hospitals that treat those men who
have been shattered by the stress and strain of the war. Along the
way, Reinhardt comes to an awakening of the man he might be. A man
freed of dogma, whose eyes have been painfully opened to the
corruption and callousness all around him. A man to whom calls to
duty, to devotion to the Fatherland and to the Kaiser, ring
increasingly hollow...

Ashes of Berlin is shortlisted for the CWA Endeavour Historical
Dagger World War II is over, and former German intelligence officer
Captain Gregor Reinhardt has returned to Berlin. He's about to find
that the bloodshed has not ended - and that for some, death is
better than defeat. A year after Germany's defeat, Reinhardt has
been hired back onto Berlin's civilian police force. The city is
divided among the victorious allied powers, tensions are growing,
and the police are riven by internal rivalries as factions within
it jockey for power and influence with Berlin's new masters. When a
man is found slain in a broken-down tenement, Reinhardt embarks on
a gruesome investigation. It seems a serial killer is on the loose,
and matters only escalate when it's discovered that one of the
victims was the brother of a Nazi scientist. Reinhardt's search for
the truth takes him across the divided city and soon embroils him
in a plot involving the Western Allies and the Soviets. And as he
comes under the scrutiny of a group of Germans who want to continue
the war - and faces an unwanted reminder from his own past -
Reinhardt realizes that this investigation could cost him
everything as he pursues a killer who believes that all wrongs must
be avenged...
German intelligence officer Captain Gregor Reinhardt has just been
reassigned to the Feldjaegerkorps - a new branch of the military
police with far-reaching powers. His position separates him from
the friends and allies he has made in the last two years, including
a circle of fellow dissenting Germans who formed a rough resistance
cell against the Nazis. And he needs them now more than ever. While
retreating through Yugoslavia with the rest of the army, Reinhardt
witnesses a massacre of civilians by the dreaded Ustaše - only to
discover there is more to the incident than anyone believes. When
five mutilated bodies turn up, Reinhardt knows the stakes are
growing more important - and more dangerous. As his investigation
begins to draw the attention of those in power, Reinhardt's friends
and associates are made to suffer. But as he desperately tries to
uncover the truth, his own past with the Ustaše threatens his
efforts. Because when it comes to death and betrayal, some people
have long memories. And they remember Reinhardt all too well. And
now, Reinhardt will have to fight them once more.
