Pretense: Imbroglio Trilogy, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min
A dark cloud hangs over Europe after the brutal murders of two heads of state just days apart. Growing civil unrest erupts across major cities as protests grow, threatening the stability of national governments. Tasked with finding the perpetrators, federal police of several countries combine forces with Interpol. A tense game of cat-and-mouse is soon underway as the violence escalates. One fact quickly becomes obvious: behind the political assassinations lies a diabolical plot which appears to stretch westward to the United States, implicating the CIA. But do the facts reflect reality or is there yet a more sinister unseen force working behind the scenes to destabilize Europe and NATO? The team of investigators led by Interpol’s Marek Frakas, "The Wolf", moves quickly to track the perpetrators and uncover the identity of the unseen mastermind behind the conspiracy. This cadre includes the lovely Adrianna, a young forensic weapons expert who can hold her own on the male-dominated international team of investigators. Together they seek to understand reality versus the shattered mirror-like reflections meant to obfuscate the truth and shroud the mastermind’s identity and ultimate purpose. With the perpetrators always one step ahead, the series of false trails and frustrating missed opportunities to apprehend the three suspects plants seeds of doubt and distrust within the investigative team. Imbroglio - an extremely confused and complicated scenario A definite must-listen for anyone who enjoys realistic, thought-provoking, and believable political suspense thrillers. ungekürzt.

He has two options - find the woman he could never forget or kill the people responsible for her death.From the very beginning, Berlin had ordered SS Hauptsturmführer Dieter Baumann to deal harshly with their VIP captive, but never to kill her. Through three concentration camps, ending in Auschwitz, Zia wishes she had been killed many times over.
