Stalag
He thought it was the opportunity of a lifetime. It turned out to be a deathtrap he may not survive…
1998. Frank Murphy’s life is crumbling. His wife threw him out, his war souvenir business is failing, and he yearns for a connection with the late WWII-hero father he barely knew. So when he’s offered a spot on a reality show recreating a German POW camp, he leaps at the chance to test his mettle.
Amazed at the perfectly recreated detail when he arrives, Frank is terrified when the camp’s brutality turns out to be all-too authentic. And after it becomes clear the whole setup is an elaborate scheme for a madman’s revenge, the middle-aged history buff will have to engineer his own Great Escape if he wants to get out alive.
Does Frank have the fire inside to take down would-be Nazis?
STALAG is a tense standalone thriller. If you like tight writing, bone-chilling evil, and breathtaking suspense, then you’ll love Bill Walker’s gripping tale.

May 23, 2021What happens when a Reality Show is not only “real” but more like a horrible nightmare? Three hundred men signed up for a “fun” adventure pretending to be prisoners in a German stalag. Only problem is that the entire setup was financed and commanded by a billionaire lunatic trying reliving the past glory of the Third Reich.
Stalag is the fourth novel I’ve read from this author and is just as thrilling and gripping as the first three, actually invoking anxiety and suspense with what was happening to the participants.
The dialogue, emotions, thoughts and actions by the characters seemed all too real.
Another masterpiece by a magnificent storyteller that requires a strong fortitude to finish through to the end.
