‘Dead of Night is the second novel in my series following the cases of Inspector Horst Schenke of the Berlin Kriminalpolizei during the Second World War. Set during the bitter winter at the start of 1940, Schenke is called upon to investigate the death of a doctor and the fate of children sent to an isolated institution. At first the two threads appear unconnected, but when Schenke grasps the link he is pitched into the heart of one of the darkest secrets of the Nazi regime.
