The Ratcatcher of Berlin
James Stejskal
Works of: Fiction
Publisher(s): Double Dagger Canada
Berlin, 1957. A city split in two, teetering on the edge of conflict. Soviet and Allied
forces glare at each other across barbed wire and crumbling streets, while spies,
traitors, and assassins move unseen in the murky half-light. When a brutal murder
threatens to ignite an international crisis, an uneasy alliance is forged: a hardened
CIA officer and a Special Forces operative, each with his own secrets, must track
the killer through the deadliest streets in Europe—those of communist East Berlin.
In a world where trust is a commodity and betrayal is currency, the hunt will force
them into a high-stakes game of deception, where every move could be their last.
Gunpowder, treason, and plot—in a city where no one is innocent.
