Noir in the city – short stories set in BANGKOK
The Scientist of Berlin
Location(s): California, Berlin
Genre(s): Thriller
From LA to Berlin, from present day to the 1940s, journey from glamorous Santa Monica to the deepest darkest corners of Nazi Germany.
David Collins, a British private investigator living in LA, is hired by Geoff Hoffman, a billionaire tech magnate running for the US Senate in California. As his campaign is threatened by rumours of a past scandal, Hoffman tasks David with discovering the truth. And soon David uncovers troubling facts – ones that lead back as far as Hoffman’s Jewish grandfather during World War II.
An alternating narrative contrasts the dark, depraved world of Nazi Germany with the corporate, sun-scorched landscapes of Los Angeles in 2019.
As these two stories come together, we become engulfed in a gripping combination of contemporary thriller and historical novel.
Daniel masterfully weaves themes of identity, belonging, and heritage into a historical thriller peppered with revelations.
