Scene of the Crime 
Dear Mr. Jones
I have a question and I am a loss who to ask, so I am asking you.
I am 68 years old and many years ago, in the 1960’s (or early 70’s?) I read
a novel about a Wehrmacht officer, probably even a general, who sadistically
murdered prostitutes in occupied Paris and was being investigated by a french detective. Then this general was posted to Warsaw where again prostitutes were murdered and a Polish policeman was after him. After the war I think these policemen join force and find the scum in Germany someplace.
I remember that I likes the book very much (although it has no mention of all the terrible things that were going on at the).
Do you have any idea what I am talking about? If not can you suggest who to ask?
Thank you,
Shmuel Rosset.
There was a movie made in the 1960’s with a plot very similar to that you describe. This movie was based on a novel by Hans Kirst, THE NIGHT OF THE GENERALS, which also was published in the 1960’s. Could this book (and movie) be what you are seeking?
Your love and knowledge of Vienna in your wonderfully evocative mysteries let me “revisit” my days when I was in Vienna in 1964-5. Thanks for such authentic story-telling. Keep the series going, please. BTW, I spent much of my youth in Oregon, and Coast you spent your formative years.
sorry for the fragmented in the last sentence of my post. I meant to say: I wonder what hamlet on the Oregon coast you grew up in.
Brent,
Thanks for the kind words. Book six in the series is out next June; am currently at work on book 7. And the hamlet it was at the time, Seaside. What were you up to in Vienna in 1964-65? A student, perhaps?
