Sinopsis

“Slade blends crime genres like no other writer. Swastika is a clever whodunit that will challenge the sharpest readers.” —Hellnotes   It began with a corpse with a swastika carved into its forehead. Was it a neo-Nazi hate crime? Or something even more sinister? As bodies mutilated with the emblem of the Third Reich begin to pile up, the investigators of the Special X police team uncover a conspiracy that takes them deep into Germany’s dark history and a secret that lies buried to this day. A secret that some would kill to keep from getting out.    “A perfect blend of historical background, police procedure, and lightning-fast action with a dash of horror. Slade’s skill at intertwining the past and the present is uncanny. Don’t start Swastika unless you can finish it. You won’t want to put it down.” —Crimespree Magazine   “Swastika will please anyone who enjoys a good thriller with a historical bent.” —Quill & Quire   “Readers who relish monsters wearing a human face must read Michael Slade.” —Midwest Book Review   “An action-packed techno-conspiracy thriller.” —Calgary Herald   “Slade knows his trade well, and is able to get inside the head of a grizzled cop and a psychotic neo-Nazi with equal skill.” —Montreal FFWD Weekly

    Left with only a muddle-headed butler, a bossy cook/housekeeper, and a couple of energetic maids, Lady Elizabeth Hartleigh Compton has enough problems on her hands. Not only is she struggling to upkeep the sprawling Manor House and vast acres she inherited, she must also take care of her numerous tenants, while coping with the inconveniences and sacrifices of wartime England. Fortunately Sitting Marsh is far removed from the bombing going on in London and other cities. That doesn't mean that peace prevails in the tiny village. There's the handsome American major who takes over the Manor House for officers' quarters, and the group of belligerent housewives determined to take on the German invaders, not to mention a murder or two . . . 
     
     
     
    Lovers of Agatha Christie's books will find much to enjoy in this tale of intrigue and laughter in an English village, and Emily Brightwell fans will fall in love with the offbeat characters of Sitting Marsh.

    It's almost Christmas in the small English village of Finch—and everyone is sick. Although many of the villagers regretfully decline their invitations to Emma and Derek Harris's annual Christmas bash, Lori Shepherd has no intention of missing it. When the winter weather takes a turn for the worse, it's agreed that none of the guests will leave until morning. There's general merriment as the Christmas party becomes a pajama party—until a car appears in the winding driveway and promptly slides off the slick pavement and into a tree. Matilda Tilly Trout—a lost and scatterbrained middle-aged woman—is mercifully unhurt and invited to stay the night. The next morning, Emma asks her guests if they would like a tour of the Manor—including a secret room she recently discovered. Several guests put forth guesses as to its purpose, but it's Tilly who correctly identifies the room as a chapel. Placing a palm on one of the ornately carved panels, Tilly finds a hidden compartment concealing a pile of glittering treasure—including an exquisitely decorated heart made of solid gold. Where did it come from, and why does it look so different from everything else in the chapel? Why didn't Emma even know about this hidden compartment in her own home until now—and how did Tilly?
