The Blameless Dead. cover reveal
In the dying days of World War Two,
Pavel Romasko and his Red Army colleagues pick their way through the carnage
and detritus of a dying Berlin.
Stumbling upon the smoking remains of a Nazi bunker, they find something inside that eclipses the horror of even the worst excesses in the city above them.
Stumbling upon the smoking remains of a Nazi bunker, they find something inside that eclipses the horror of even the worst excesses in the city above them.
As the war ends, retribution begins.
But some revenge cannot be taken at once. Some revenge takes years.
And so it is, as post-war Europe
tries desperately to drag itself back onto its feet, and soldiers attempt a
return to normality, that retribution continues to ferment in the Gulags of the
Soviet Union and beneath the surface of apparently ordinary lives.
Which is how, seventy years later,
FBI agent Carla Romero and New York lawyer Gabriel Hall are enlisted to
investigate a series of blood-chilling crimes that seem to have their roots in
the distant past — even though the suffering they cause is all too present. And
for one of them, the disappearance of young women is a particularly personal
matter.
The Blameless Dead is an epic, compelling, edge-of-the-seat drama that sweeps the reader
from twentieth century Europe to modern-day New York, taking in some of the
most important events of modern history and exposing them in honest and
unflinching terms. Part murder-mystery, part historical novel and shot through
with adrenalin-pumping action, this novel superbly demonstrates that, while the
hostilities may cease and the peace be signed, the horror that is war is never
really over.
