Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

As Britain celebrates victory in Europe, Dr Roger Scarfield and his close friend, Superintendent James Brendan-Cox MC, are drawn into their most dangerous investigation yet.

Summoned by MI5, the two men are asked to discreetly observe an apparently respectable chest physician working alongside Roger in a London hospital. Known as Dr Peter Wellington, the doctor claims to be a refugee who escaped Nazi Germany. But British Intelligence suspects a far darker truth.

Could this respected physician actually be Dr Klaus Hartman, a notorious SS concentration camp doctor responsible for horrific medical experiments and unspeakable war crimes?

With little more than instinct, fragmented intelligence and growing suspicion, Roger and James must uncover the truth before one of history's most wanted men disappears forever. Yet proving guilt is far more difficult than suspecting it, and appearances can be dangerously deceptive.

As the investigation unfolds, hidden wartime loyalties, Nazi escape networks, dangerous sympathisers and long-buried secrets emerge, forcing both men into a race against time where justice depends not only upon evidence, but also upon courage.

Richly researched and morally compelling, PAST BEFORE PRESENT is the fourth novel in war-time espionage series, a gripping blend of historical fiction, wartime espionage, detective mystery and psychological suspense that explores one of history's darkest chapters while asking whether evil can ever truly escape its past.

Perfect for readers of historical crime, wartime thrillers and intelligent mysteries with authentic historical detail.
