The Forger (Frank Stave Investigations)

Shot down during a routine operation, inspector Frank Stave had moved from the murder commission to combatting the black market that runs rife in post-war Hamburg. There, Stave is confronted with an enigmatic case: in the ruins of the bomb torn city, some women have found works of art from the Weimar period―right next to a corpse whose identity the murder commission seem desperate to conceal.

Shortly afterwards, Lieutenant MacDonald is confronted with another problem: mysterious banknotes are popping up on the black market, banknotes whose existence disturbs the secret plans of the Allies. The inspector soon discovers strange parallels between the two cases.

The Forger is the stunning conclusion to the Inspector Stave Crime trilogy that will leave you breathless.
