Collision of Evil
As
evening falls against the majestic backdrop of the Bavarian Alps,
Charles Hirter, an American tourist, is savagely murdered. In the
peace, quiet and pastoral splendor of this magnificent setting, Charles
Hirter draws his last breath. Was Charles simply in the wrong place at
the wrong time?
Kommissar Franz Waldbaer, the German detective in charge of the case,
faces an investigation that yields neither clues nor suspects nor
motives. A gruff, go-it alone detective, Waldbaer is dismayed by the
arrival of Robert Hirter, the victim's brother, who insists on joining
the investigation. But there is more to Robert than meets the eye.
As Robert and the Kommissar uncover a nefarious nexus of evil past and
evil present, they find themselves probing dark, long-forgotten
episodes from the Third Reich in order to identify the present threat.
Thrust into a violent world of fanatic passions, malevolent intentions
and excruciating urgency, Robert Hirter and Kommissar Waldbaer must
race against the clock to stop a sophisticated, covert, and deadly plot.
