The Ways of Justice

This story is a detective mystery packed with corruption, intrigue and murder and centres on a complex police investigation which hampered by politics and the machinations of competing power-hungry players appeared doomed from the start.

The mysterious death of Dolff Madden, a prominent citizen of Munich and president of an international fashion business, throws top party politicians into a flurry, as they begin to fear what unpleasant secrets an investigation into the cause of his death could uncover. They want to leave the coroner's verdict of accidental death untouched and to have the man's burial hastened. Only the head of the Munich CID, DCS Frank Kruger and his serious crimes staff, think differently. The circumstances surrounding the death point to murder. But their hands are tied. Kruger, though, not one to give up easily or be deterred by officialdom and politics, begins an unofficial investigation to clear up the inconsistencies. But soon he finds himself drawn into a quagmire of political murder, fraud, extortion and in-fighting among the powerful contenders for a share of the spoils in the plot – which began with the Madden's murder – as he attempts to unravel a web of deceit and deception while walking a political tightrope to bring the perpetrators to justice who believe they are above the law.
