Colonel Martin Bora of the Wehrmacht must investigate the theft of a precious painting of Venus by Titian, stolen with uncanny ease from a local residence. While Bora’s inquiry proceeds among many difficulties , the discovery of three dead bodies throws an even more sinister light on the scene. Caught in an unforeseeable web of events, hounded by the Gestapo, hopelessly in love with an enigmatic, real-flesh “Venus,” Bora must resort to all his courage and ability – not only in order to solve the mystery and expose the perpetrator, but also, in a breath-taking crescendo, to try to save himself from the firing squad. Praise for the Martin Bora series “Dark Song of Blood is historical crime fiction at its best.” Sunday Times “Tin Sky is the best crime novel of the month. This fine story is packed with moral ambiguity.” The Times “Lumen’s plot is well crafted, a disturbing mix of detection and reflection.” Publishers Weekly
