The Angel of Munich, the first book in Fabiano Massimi's series starring detective Siegfried Sauer, is a baffling literary thriller about historical characters and a true case that could have changed the course of history.

It is 1931 and in the apartment of Adolf Hitler – the rising star of the Nazi party – Geli Raubel is found dead. She is not only Hitler's niece, but also his mistress and although everything points to suicide, there are a lot of people who have a good reason to want to kill her.

The maverick detective and ex-Nazi Siegfried Sauer is called in to investigate the case. He soon discovers that this case is much more complicated than he thought, especially when more people die and witnesses contradict each other. And where is the golden swastika that Geli always wore around her neck...
