Madness in the Ruins by John A Connell

Madness in the Ruins by John A Connell

Imagine Jeffery Dahmer or Ted Bundy set loose in a war-ravaged city with thousands of places to lurk and legions of easy prey.

In the winter of 1945, seven months after the Nazi defeat, and Munich is in ruins. Mason Collins--former Chicago police detective, U.S. soldier, and prisoner-of-war--is now Chief Warrant Officer of the American Zone of Occupation. It's his job to enforce the law in a place where chaos reigns. And his job just became much more dangerous.

A killer is stalking the devastated city--one who has knowledge of human anatomy, enacts mysterious rituals with his prey, and seems to pick victims at random. Relying on his wit and instincts, Mason must venture into dangerous places that put his own life at risk: from interrogation rooms with unrepentant Nazi war criminals to the dark tunnels beneath the crumbling city.

But what Mason doesn't know is that the killer he's chasing is stalking him as well.

Connell, John A.: - John A. Connell writes spellbinding crime thrillers with a historical twist. In addition to his standalone historical thriller, Good Night, Sweet Daddy-O, he writes the post-WW2 Mason Collins series, which follows Mason to some of the most dangerous and turbulent places in the post-World War Two world. The first, Madness in the Ruins, was a 2016 Barry Award nominee, and the series has garnered praise from such bestselling authors as Lee Child and Steve Berry. In a previous life, John worked as a cameraman on films such as Jurassic Park and Thelma and Louise and on TV shows including NYPD Blue and The Practice. Atlanta-born, John spends his time between the U.S. and France.
