Description

Kristine Kathryn Rusch's most acclaimed crime novels returns to print after 15 years with its original title restored. Set in two timelines—the ill-fated 1972 Munich Olympics and the rise of Nazism in the 1930s, Rusch deftly blends the past and the present in a tale of criminality and missed opportunity.

When the ambitious American reporter Annie Pohlmann tracks down former police detective Fritz Stecher, she doesn't want to talk about his most famous case. She wants to talk about his most famous failure, a failure tied to the most notorious events of the 1930s. Stecher talks, and reveals even more than Annie ever bargained for.

Sadly relevant today, Consecrated Ground explores the underlying evil of unchecked power and its effect on the entire world.

"…a short, powerful novel that proves the always impressive Rusch can successfully tackle any genre she sets her sights on."
