"Slade blends crime genres like no other writer. Swastika is a clever whodunit that will challenge the sharpest readers." — Hellnotes It began with a corpse with a swastika carved into its forehead. Was it a neo-Nazi hate crime? Or something even more sinister? As bodies mutilated with the emblem of the Third Reich begin to pile up, the investigators of the Special X police team uncover a conspiracy that takes them deep into Germany's dark history and a secret that lies buried to this day. A secret that some would kill to keep from getting out. "A perfect blend of historical background, police procedure, and lightning-fast action with a dash of horror. Slade's skill at intertwining the past and the present is uncanny. Don't start Swastika unless you can finish it. You won't want to put it down." — Crimespree Magazine " Swastika will please anyone who enjoys a good thriller with a historical bent." — Quill & Quire "Readers who relish monsters wearing a human face must read Michael Slade." — Midwest Book Review "An action-packed techno-conspiracy thriller." — Calgary Herald "Slade knows his trade well, and is able to get inside the head of a grizzled cop and a psychotic neo-Nazi with equal skill." — Montreal FFWD Weekly
