In 1936 all eyes are on Munich for the upcoming Olympic Games. As athletes fight for gold and the Nazis fight for power, Detective Sebastian Wolff faces a battle of his own.
A famous actress has disappeared and Wolff has been ordered to find her, fast.
But Elena Lang is no ordinary film-star: she is the mistress of Joseph Goebbels — Hitler’s right-hand-man in the party that Wolff despises.
But this is a country on the brink of war, and corruption runs deep. In a search that will take him from high society to the city’s darkest corners, Wolff will soon learn just how fine the line is between justice and jeopardy.
Evil in High Places by Rory Clements is published in paperback on 23 April, 2026.
