Max Heller: Dresden Homicide Detective - Book 2

An unsettling homicide uncovers a gripping conspiracy in the aftermath of World War II in Dresden. The victim, Max Heller, was a police detective entangled in a high-stakes mystery among the city's ruins.

After the devastating firebombing of historic Dresden, Detective Max Heller is called to a savage homicide scene during a harsh winter. Amidst struggling residents and scavenging orphan wolf packs, a Russian officer is found stabbed to death. Not far from the frozen corpse lies an abandoned backpack containing the severed head of another man.

If the grisly discovery belonged to the slain officer, it could link back to the town's powerful Soviet naval occupants. However, if it belonged to the officer's murderer, Detective Heller would be confronted with far more daunting inquiries.

Regardless of dire warnings from higher-ups on all sides, Heller is decided to find the solutions. His investigation leads him down a path of unspeakable corruption, determined murders, and larger looming evils that Heller might by no means be capable to comprise.
