silent terror
Irish-American lawyer Jeff Scott arrives in Munich in the autumn of 2015 with one goal – to get custody of his six-year-old daughter, Tania. Determined to stop him is wealthy industrialist Marius Lindauer, now married to Tania’s mother and leader of Germany’s largest far-right political party.
When Scott is arrested while attempting to enter the Lindauer farm where he believes Tania to be, he makes an unlikely ally of Kommissarin Gretchen Caberletti, who is hunting a serial killer of Muslim businessmen. Her investigation turns the Lindauer family into a deadly enemy.
Meanwhile in Denmark, Carsten Bjornson, now in his nineties, wants to set the record straight about his role in an act of treachery against a wealthy Jewish family just when Hitler had signed a decree to deport the Danish Jews. But he is equally determined to reveal the connivance of Marius Lindauer’s father, an SS officer stationed in Copenhagen during the war.
Chased by Lindauer’s murderous thugs, Scott and Gretchen flee to Denmark to find Bjornson and expose the Lindauers’ dark secrets.
In ‘Silent Terror’ you will find all the ingredients of a good thriller – an intriguing idea, facts with relevance, clear characters both good and evil, effective prose, page turning action and a satisfying conclusion. John Keane, UK, Amazon Review ![]()
