Ashes of Berlin is shortlisted for the CWA Endeavour Historical Dagger
World War II is over, and former German intelligence officer Captain Gregor Reinhardt has returned to Berlin.
He's about to find that the bloodshed has not ended – and that for some, death is better than defeat.
When a man is found slain in a broken-down tenement, Reinhardt embarks on a gruesome investigation.
It seems a serial killer is on the loose, and matters only escalate when it's discovered that one of the victims was the brother of a Nazi scientist.
Reinhardt's search for the truth takes him across the divided city and soon embroils him in a plot involving the Western Allies and the Soviets.
He soon realises that this investigation could cost him everything as he pursues a killer who believes that all wrongs must be avenged…
