I am pleased with the novel "A Dangerous Game" by Mandy Robotham. Thanks to this author, I was able to travel to the year 1952. Seven years have passed since the end of World War II. Together with the main characters:
Inspector Harry Schroder from Hamburg and Helen "Dexie" - WPC Dexter, we will be tracking down the German Nazi criminal Helmut Praxer, who currently lives in London. He is a businessman and hides under a completely different name and surname. This will be a difficult case. On top of all this, London is completely immersed in a fog for several days.
I will tell you right away that it is worth persevering until the very end. I like this type of story. Every Nazi should be caught and tried. Will you be able to track down the monster in this story? Will he be held accountable for his atrocities?
I like Mandy Robotham's writing style. I read her book "A Dangerous Game" in one day. At first, the action was slow. It only picked up pace about halfway through. The plot is well thought out and developed. The cover of this book is perfect. It's worth getting to know this story.
