Science fiction and classic crime novels have long been favorites of author K.C. Sivils. The combination of film noir and science fiction in director Ridley Scott’s adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s sci-fi classic Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep into the masterful Harrison Ford vehicle Bladerunner encouraged him to consume as much of both genre’s as possible.
A fan of past noir masters such as Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, Sivils also enjoys the current generation of storytellers like Renee Pawlish and Alex P. Berg.
Author of over twenty non-fiction books, including an Amazon Best Seller, Sivils has now ventured into the realm of fiction with his Inspector Thomas Sullivan series. Married to the former Lisa Green and the father of three children, Sivils is a dog lover and a fan of Classic Rock bands like The Rolling Stones and New Wave rockers The Cars.

Amazon Book Description:
Needing to stop the flood of humanity fleeing communist oppression by making it to the divided city of Berlin, the communist government of East Germany took drastic measures. In August of 1961, construction of the Berlin Wall began.
Two young lovers, one an American refugee worker, the other an East German seminary student, find themselves separated by the wall. Desperate to be reunited and build a life together, Angela Wettin and Michael Dieterich, with Michael’s brother Joseph, set in motion a dangerous plan to escape by tunneling under the Berlin Wall.
Determined to stop any hope of gaining freedom, the East German Stasi, the dreaded secret police of the communist state, formed Department XX/4 to infiltrate and spy on the Church in East Germany.
Faced with betrayal, the ever present watchful eyes of the Stasi, and family conflict, the trio enters a life-and-death race against the Stasi and Department XX/4.

In the divided city of Berlin there are no secrets from the Devil’s Spies!
My cover designer, Robin Johnson of Florida Girl Design, has struck again! She’s created the cover for the first installment in the new series featuring your favorite detective and his partner from the future, Thomas Sullivan and Sarah.
The original award-winning cover Robin made for me was for The Predator and The Prey. This story introduced Inspector Thomas Sullivan and his crew.
I am convinced Robin has done it again with her artwork for Lies Dead Men Tell. (Scheduled for release in 2024)
It’s scary how close the depictions of Sully and Sarah are compared to how I pictured them. For Terminator and Terminator 2 fans, Robin’s technique might be a source of concern.
It’ s scary how close the depictions of Sully and Sarah are compared to how I pictured them in my mind. For those of us fans of Terminator and Terminator 2, Robin’s technique might be a source of concern. (We shouldn’t forget Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles either!)
That’s right. Robin used AI to generate the design. She promises me her AI is not evil and in no way related to Skynet.
In the years immediately following the Second World War, tensions between the East and West mounted with each passing day. No city experienced the pressure cooker that was the Cold War, like the divided city of Berlin.
The stage is set for an international conflict when two dead bodies are found on the inner border, one in East Germany and the other in West Germany. One body is an American and the other an East German.
Faced with the need to defuse the situation, FBI Agent Nelson Paine is sent to Berlin to represent the Allies’ interests in the investigation. Gunther Schmidt, Paine’s Stasi counterpart, is also assigned to the problematic case.
Both sides have agendas that must be protected, making uncovering the truth complicated.
Somewhere between the beautiful, snow-covered forests of the Harz Mountains and the paranoid hustle and bustle of a divided Berlin lies the truth.
Can Paine find the killer and deliver justice for the victims in a part of the world where justice is too often only a word?
