Description

Berlin 1934. The Nazis have been in power for just eighteen months, and Germany is already showing signs of change. As the city prepares to host the 1936 Olympics, Jews are being expelled from all German sporting organisations - a blatant example of discrimination. Bernie, once a homicide detective with Berlin's Criminal Police, is now house detective at the famous Adlon Hotel. Two bodies are found: one a businessman and the other a Jewish boxer. As Bernie digs to uncover the truth, he discovers a vast labour and construction racket designed to take advantage of the huge sums the Nazis are spending on the Olympics. This plot finds its dramatic conclusion twenty years later in pre-revolutionary Cuba. A gripping tale of violence, corruption and the darker side of human nature, If the Dead Rise Not is a story that spans two decades and two continents.
