โฆ Synopsis
THE STUNNING SECOND WORLD WAR THRILLER FROM THE CELEBRATED SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR SIMON SCARROW The Times bestsellerโTaut and chilling - I was completely grippedโ Anthony Horowitz โA wonderfully compelling thriller, reeking of authenticity, and a terrific depiction of the human world within the chilling world of the Third Reichโ Peter JamesโPivotal moments in history; utterly authentic characters; a gripping plot. The perfect way to bring history aliveโ Damien LewisBerlin, December 1939 As Germany goes to war, the Nazis tighten their terrifying grip. Paranoia in the capital is intensified by a rigidly enforced blackout that plunges the city into oppressive darkness every night, as the bleak winter sun sets. When a young woman is found brutally murdered, Criminal Inspector Horst Schenke is under immense pressure to solve the case, swiftly. Treated with suspicion by his superiors for his failure to join the Nazi Party, Schenke walks a perilous line - for disloyalty is a death sentence. The discovery of a second victim confirms Schenkeโs worst fears. He must uncover the truth before evil strikes again. As the investigation takes him closer to the sinister heart of the regime, Schenke realises there is danger everywhere - and the warring factions of the Reich can be as deadly as a killer stalking the streets . . . โScarrow has created a character whoโs a more than worthy successor to Philip Kerrโs Bernie Gunther. Blackout is a gripping, terrifying read . . . historical crime fiction at its finestโ David Young
