Liberated (Kaspar Brothers)
An American captain in post-WWII Germany must stop a criminal conspiracy by his fellow officers.
Germany, May, 1945. With the war just over, Capt. Harry Kaspar is about to take a new posting in the US occupation—running a Bavarian town named Heimgau. When Harry loses the command to a rival, he’ll do almost anything to win the job back.
Then Harry discovers a horrific scene: three German men tortured and murdered. Solving the crime could teach the locals about American justice—and help him reclaim his posting. But as Harry’s quest for the killer leads him back to American officers, he uncovers a criminal network plundering the war-torn land for all its worth. Now, for justice to mean anything at all, Harry must fight back.
My newsletter post “Plunder and Corruption in US-Occupied Germany” reveals the sordid true tales that inspired me to write Liberated.
Liberated is the second book in the Kaspar Brothers series.
