The Tenth Witness
Leonard Rosen
Permanent, Sep 1 2013, $29.00
ISBN 9781579623197
In 1978 off the coast of Holland, Poincare & Chin Consulting works on salvaging the HMS Lutine having won the Lloyds of London contract. The frigate went down in 1799 near the Wadden Sea allegedly loaded with gold bars.
Taking a leisurely stroll on the beach, Henri Poincaré meets Liesel Kraus, Kraus Steel heiress. Henri and Liesel are attracted to one another after he gets over the initial shock as to whom she is and begin a romance. However, he begins to hear tales that Kraus Steel owes its success due to Liesel’s father Otto’s WWII business deals; as Henri’s late uncle knew first-hand. Though Henri realizes he should mind his business, he makes inquiries to learn the truth.
The prequel to All Cry Chaos focuses on Henri’s first case that he did not know was a case; which eventually led to Interpol recruiting him. The timely storyline told by ethical Henri uses a wonderful historiographical late 1970s spin to look back to the 1940s at those exploiting the Nazi terror and aftermath to make an exorbitant profit by paying coolie wages to desperate workers. Leisurely-paced, readers will appreciate this strong tale as the avaricious affluent use the system at the cost of the masses.
