New novel asks are neo-Nazis again terrorizing Europe?

SAN DIEGO, Califor--February 7, 2004--With the release of "Murder Without Pity," published by 1stbooks Library (www.1stbooks.com), novelist Steve Haberman poses this unsettling question in his atmospheric political/historical mystery.

(PRWEB) February 7, 2004 --"Murder Without Pity" (ISBN: 1-4107-4052-8) is set in a contemporary Paris tumultuous with fog, riots over police killings, and Far Right extremists. Here dogged state criminal investigator Stanislas Cassel works at the Palace of Justice. He is a grandson of a French propagandist for the Nazis during their World War II Occupation. Ashamed of his family's infamy, he avoids anything political. Instead, he absorbs himself solving small crimes. Little does he suspect the life-shattering change awaiting him when he investigates the bizarre murder of a pensioner, found glassy-eyed dead.

Based on historical research, extensive interviews and visits to the City of Light, "Murder Without Pity" is a provocative thriller about a decent man, who ignores evil. In the end, what does he learn about himself? What can others learn? Is the past dead or still lurking? "Murder Without Pity," a timely mystery of fact and fiction.
