Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Two missing children. Only Pohl can save the third.
Blood Ties
What you need to know before your trail
Two young children have been violently abducted in broad daylight, with nothing connecting them but their disappearance. Detective Nik Pohl knows there must be a missing link, but every time he gets close to the answer people show up hurt, or worse…
The kidnappings must be connected. Could it be the recent property scandal that one young girl’s father is embroiled in, or something even bigger? Desperate to find the children and fearing there may be more victims, Pohl throws himself into the world of Munich’s grimy organised crime scene.
Drug lords, money launderers and criminals stand in the way of the truth, but Pohl knows his way around, and he’s determined not to let another child disappear on his watch. Can he make the connection and identify the final target—and stop the killer—before it’s too late?
Travel Guide
Travel BookTrail style to Munich
Munich is the backdrop to this city but it does play a central role as many of the city’s major fixtures such as the Olympic stadium and the English gardens are features in the storyline. Places for characters to go and walk, talk about events on their way to the police station where everything is investigated.
The crime scenes are harder to pin down but Adalbertstrasse is where the police stake out a flat to have as lookout.
The sense of Munich is all over this novel. The spirit of Oktoberfest for example is a constant feature which gives the city something to look forward to and you get a sense of the celebrations as you read. This is a city built on tradition, history and heritage. Interesting to see a police procedural going on with such an interesting city as the setting!
