The White Circle

<p><b>"A fitting and frightening conclusion to a magnificent series" <i>The Times</i></b><br><br><b>The final instalment of the acclaimed Black Forest Investigations brings the series to a shattering close.</b><br><br>Louise Bonì, Chief Inspector of the Freiburg criminal police, gets intelligence from an informer that two guns have been bought from a Russian criminal network. Desperate to prevent a fatal act of violence, Bonì is swift to investigate. Before long she identifies the vehicle used to collect the weapons, but the car''s owner has a watertight alibi. The man driving that night was Ricky Janisch, a neo-Nazi and member of the extreme right-wing group, the Southwest Brigade.<br><br><b>"Bottini is one of the most sophisticated crime writers of our times" JOAN SMITH, <i>Sunday Times</i></b><br><br>Bonì and her team put Janisch under surveillance, and identify others belonging to the extreme right. The further they probe, the more shocking their discoveries. Could this be part of a much more powerful neo-Nazi network which will stop at nothing? And how will they prevent an attack when the perpetrators are always a step ahead and they don''t know the target? By the time Bonì pinpoints the victim, it may already be too late . . .<br><br><b>Translated from the German by Jamie Bulloch</b></p>
