Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke by Anne Blankman

I couldn't wait to read this sequel to Prisoner of Night and Fog - it did not disappoint.  Gretchen and Daniel continue their journey together, returning to Berlin to solve another murder case - one that Daniel has been accused of.  While I found that part of the story a bit thin, the rest of the book is solid and swept me up in its action and suspense. Their return to Berlin is in the height of Hitler's rise to power, and the danger that they face is palpable.  Gretchen's insights into Hitler and his hidden psychosis are well crafted. This is a story full of mystery, intrigue and romance - and the historical detail is woven seamlessly into the plot line.
