Murder Without Pity (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Monsieur Stanisas Cassel is a state criminal investigator in Paris, France during turbulent times for his country. Unemployment is high. Many French are scared and unsure about the future. Extremist politicians promise a better life, if elected.

Within this milieu, Monsieur Cassel works. However, this grandson of a French propagandist for the Nazis during their World War II Occupation, ashamed of his family's infamy, avoids anything political. Instead he buries himself, tracking down perpetrators of small crimes, which he calls his Little Miseries.

One current dossier involves a pensioner's strange murder. During his pursuit of the killer/s, Cassel meets a beautiful Jewish woman, whose family was shipped to a death camp in 1942. Haunted by man's inhumanity, she tries to alert him to the Far Right's reemergence, but to no avail.

Only when tragedy strikes does he realize a larger evil beyond his Little Miseries, as the Occupation portended, exists. MURDER WITHOUT PITY, a novel about the past, the present, betrayal, murder, and redemption. Based on a true historical event.

     Steve earned a B. A. Degree from the University of Texas in Austin, majoring in political science and minoring in history. Afterwards he passed his stock broker's exam and worked for a time at a brokerage house before returning to school.  Upon getting his legal assistant certification from UCLA, he worked at a law firm in Los Angeles. Successful stock market investments allowed him to retire early and to pursue two dreams, writing and foreign travel, and he has since traveled extensively and frequently to Europe. He speaks some French, a little less Italian, and four words in German and hopes to expand his fluency in all three languages.        He enjoys the cosmopolitan bustle, sidewalk cafes, the museums of Berlin, Rome, Vienna, London, Budapest, and Paris. Many of these capitals find their way into his stories of intrigue..."Murder Without Pity" (Paris), "The Killing Ploy" (London, Berlin, Paris, and Lugano) and the soon-to-be-released "Darkness and Blood" (London and Paris) and "Winston Churchill's Renegade Spy" (London and Zurich).  He's also researching for a fifth novel, this one to be set in 1946 Berlin.         I
