Murder on the Harz Mountain Railway: An Agent Nelson Paine Mystery (FBI Agent Nelson Paine Murder Mysteries Book 4)

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.

Few nations felt the ever-present iron grip of oppression like the citizens of East Germany. Their communist masters and the always watching Stasi, the dreaded East German secret police, made certain the presence of the state was always felt.

When two dead bodies are found on the inner border, one in East Germany and the other in West Germany, the stage is set for a potentially dangerous conflict. The fact one of those bodies is an American, and the other German only serves to further complicate an already messy international situation.

Faced with the need to defuse the situation, FBI Agent Nelson Paine, on loan to Scotland Yard, 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 a complicated matter.

Somewhere between the beautiful, snow-covered forests of the Harz Mountains and the paranoid hustle and bustle of Berlin lies the truth.

Can Agent Paine find the killer and deliver justice for the victims in a part of the world where justice is all too often only a word?
