Don't Die In The Front Seat

It all started when a shopkeeper in Bamberg quietly pressed a note into Gerhard's hand and told him it was important. He was busy and read it later, amazed to see that it was from the chancellor Germany. The government wanted Gerhard to do something for them and promised a great deal in return, all of which would be explained in due time, by the chancellor's representatives. Meanwhile he tended to business-helped his friend discover a code scratched into the bulkhead of an old submarine, which they recovered earlier from a Norwegian fjord and were now restoring. Then there was the huge vat of port in Portugal full of bodies and the wine stains that led Gerhard to the solution of a crime that nearly ruined a good man's reputation. In the end it was the persistence of the chancellor's representatives who led Gerhard to the most important postwar discovery ever-the long hidden private residence of Adolf Hitler. But the real shocker was what they found inside.
