Description
THE CLOSER YOU GET, THE FURTHER YOU HAVE TO FALL.
Munich, 1936. All eyes are on the Bavarian capital for the upcoming Olympic games. As athletes fight for gold and the Nazis fight for power, Detective Sebastian Wolff faces a battle of his own.
A famous actress has disappeared and Wolff has been ordered to find her, fast. But Elena Lang is no ordinary film-star: she is the mistress of Joseph Goebbels - Hitler's right-hand-man in the party that Wolff despises.
But corruption runs deep in Munich and Elena is just the first to go missing. In a search that will take him from high society to the city's darkest corners, Wolff is about to learn just how easily the hunter becomes the hunted: this is a city on the brink of war, and some enemies are better left alone.
Walking the tightrope between justice and jeopardy, Evil in High Places is the gripping new historical thriller from the million-copy-bestseller, Rory Clements.

This is the second novel by Rory Clements featuring detective Seb Wolff and it is a corker with murder and intrigue at the highest levels of the Nazi party as they prepare to host the 1936 Winter Olympics.
Wolff is a good man who detests the Nazis and simply concentrates on doing what he does best - solve crimes which he does in a thorough and dedicated manner.
I enjoyed all the Tom Wilde books and this series definitely has legs as it was well plotted and historically very accurate.
Another wonderful author in Simon Scarrow is currently writing a series featuring a similar character - a conflicted policeman in Nazi Germany in Horst Schenke and these too are excellent books as they vie to replace the much missed Philip Kerr and his magnificent Bernie Gunther series of novels.
Like many others I miss the sardonic humour and cynicism of Bernie but this is an excellent book by Rory Clements and helps fill the gap.
