The Sunday Times bestselling author returns with a gripping new WW2 thriller, set during the 1936 Munich Olympics.

THE CLOSER YOU GET, THE FURTHER YOU HAVE TO FALL . . .

Munich, 1936: All eyes are on the Bavarian capital 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 corruption runs deep in Munich and Elena is just the first to go missing. In a search that will take him from high society to the city's darkest corners, Wolff is about to learn just how easy the hunter becomes the hunted. This is a city on the brink of war, and some enemies are better left alone.

Walking the tightrope between justice and jeopardy, Evil in High Places is the gripping new historical thriller from the million-copy bestseller, Rory Clements.
