Former German soldier Gabriel Keller is serving a life sentence for murder. Told by a judge that he is too dangerous to ever be released, Keller is a man without purpose. Surviving, not living.
Department 89 receives a credible threat that the French President will be assassinated on his upcoming state visit to Germany. Major Sophie Decker is ordered to ensure nothing happens to the President while on German soil.
The leader of the assassination plot is inside the same prison as Keller. But they don't know who he is. So Decker offers Keller a deal. Help track down the plotters, help to foil the assassination attempt, and gain his freedom as a reward.
Ok. I have read all the department 89 books or novellas. I don’t consider anything under 250-300 pages a book. Most in the series are novellas not books. This one at 61 pages is a long chapter. I really hope the author gets real and does real books or I’m not buying again.
The Devil Incarcerated is another hit from Department 89. This is more of a short story but it was a fun read with a couple of twist that made it fun to read. Mix of prison life and a search for an assassin planning to kill the President of France
