Beschreibung

Johanna was beautiful, beguiling, cunning ... with a lust for wealth. She sought out the very rich plying the steamship lines from Italy to Argentina. Konrad Ackermann was young, naive ... a former captain of the SS who abandoned Berlin as the Russian troops stormed the Führer bunker in April 1945. Konrad Ackermann ... who financed his escape with a stash of solid gold coins, the Brotherhood coins minted by Martin Bormann to fund a resurgent German Fourth Reich. Konrad Ackermann ... who Gela Pientka identified as the man who murdered Marianne. In the chaos of a defeated Germany important people began to die as they sought refuge along the clandestine routes called ratlines between the ruins of Berlin and sanctuary in South America. Rumors spread of a fanatical SS officer, financed by stolen Nazi gold, who hunted those who abandoned their Führer in those dying days.

I have coffee most every morning at my "office" - a small table in a 1920s style restaurant and hotel called the Olympic Club in Centralia, Washington. Visitors assume I work there, some think I am the manager. I direct people to the bathrooms - the urinals in this place are a tourist attraction all by themselves. This is where I write. The chaos and atmosphere prep me for the day, and everyone in town knows if you need to talk to me, just drop by the "Oly Club."Most don't know I have a master's degree in business, and ran my own technology company for over twenty-five of my last forty working years. I won a national championship on horseback, raced sailboats, wrestled octopus, baby-sat a killer whale, and once was a cook on a salmon purse seiner. I cherish my role as author-in-residence, or that crazy guy at the table by the urinals - it depends on your perspective.
