When the Third Reich collapsed, the small town Garmisch-Partenkirchen became the home of fleeing war criminals, making it the final depository for the Nazis' stolen riches. There are fortunes to be made on the black market. Murder, extortion, and corruption have become the norm. It's a perfect storm for a criminal investigator like Mason Collins, especially when his friend, CIC Agent John Winstone, claims that a group of powerful men are taking over the lucrative trade. But before he can fully explain, Winstone--and his girlfriend-- are brutally murdered. Determined to uncover the truth, Mason plunges into a shadowy labyrinth of co-conspirators including former SS and Gestapo officers, U.S. Army OSS officers, and liberated Polish POWs. As both witnesses and evidence begin disappearing, it becomes obvious that someone on high is pulling strings to stifle the investigation--and that Mason must feel his way in the darkness if he is going to find out who in town has the most to gain--and the most to lose.."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xVeterans$vFiction 606 $aAmericans$zGermany$vFiction 606 $aMurder$xInvestigation$vFiction 606 $aConspiracies$vFiction 606 $aFICTION / Thrillers$2bisacsh 607 $aGermany$xHistory$y1945-$vFiction 608 $aMystery fiction.$2gsafd 608 $aSuspense fiction.$2gsafd 608 $aHistorical fiction.$2gsafd 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xVeterans 615 0$aAmericans 615 0$aMurder$xInvestigation 615 0$aConspiracies 615 7$aFICTION / Thrillers. 676 $a813/.6 686 $aFIC031000$2bisacsh 700 $aConnell$b John A$01249648 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149212503321 996 $aSpoils of victory$92895843 997 $aUNINA
