It's the summer of 1944, and Berlin is being bombed day after day by the Allies, yet the work of the criminal police continues. A married couple is murdered (he's a renowned doctor, she's been working on, shall we say, racial issues), and the brilliant criminologist Hugo Fischer is tasked with investigating and closing the case—preferably as quickly as possible. He's barely begun when the police discover the body of a journalist known to the murdered woman, and then a group of Hitler Youth children are killed on their way to a patriotic excursion.
The more questions Hugo Fischer asks, the clearer it becomes to him that all these events are interconnected. Unfortunately, he's inept at his job; during the course of his investigation, he learns too much he shouldn't know, yet the questions continue unabated. Why are his immediate superiors so insistent that the double murder was committed simply because of adultery, obstructing the investigation at every turn? What strange friendships did the murdered doctor have, and what exactly was his wife doing? And by the way, what does a monastery and a circus have to do with it? Meanwhile, an assassination attempt on Hitler is being prepared among the highest levels of the Reich leadership, and Hugo Fischer, who is up to his ears in his own investigation, has no connection to the brewing conspiracy, yet he is hiding completely different, albeit no less dangerous, secrets, and is already arousing the keen interest of the Gestapo...
Oriana Ramunno's detective thrillers are based on her in-depth research into Germany during World War II and the Holocaust. "Smoke Over Berlin" is a sequel to her bestseller "The Boy Who Painted Shadows," an atmospheric, authentic story that will offer tense intrigue and genuine drama, human courage, animal terror, and, surprisingly, also hope.
