Golden Eagles
(2026)(The fifth book in the Alaric von Trelow Mystery series)
A novel by Jason Collings
August 1919, Silesia, Eastern Germany.
The world's largest plane.
A fortune in gold and new banknotes.
Fall, burning, from the sky.
Alaric von Trelow, former intelligence officer turned private enquiry agent, is hired to investigate why planes carrying money to a desperate and besieged nation are failing to reach their destination.
What might have mechanical failures and a single tragic accident are soon revealed to be something far more sinister.
Von Trelow's investigation takes him from the backstreets of Berlin, to Silesia on the verge of revolt, to newly resurgent Poland, and into the skies three kilometres over Germany. His investigation uncovers thieves, gamblers, conmen, blackmailers, spies, and killers, and stakes even greater than the fortunes in newly-printed banknotes carried in the holds of each plane. What begins as sabotage could end up altering the shape of Europe and the world.
For readers who enjoy intelligent, hard-edged thrillers grounded in real events.
Meticulously researched, Golden Eagles is a standalone novel and the fifth book in the Alaric von Trelow Mysteries — a series of detective thrillers set in Germany between 1918 and 1933.
Perfect for readers of:
Philip Kerr’s Bernie Gunther novels
Ben Pastor’s Martin Bora series
Volker Kutscher’s Babylon Berlin series
Charles Todd’s Inspector Rutledge mysteries
Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series
Reviewers say:
‘True craftsmanship of the highest order.’
‘The frenetic action scenes give Jack Reacher a good run for his money.’
‘For readers of Philip Kerr or Ben Pastor, this is an absolute gem. But Prussian Blue stands on its own as a work of rare craft and heart. It doesn’t just recreate history, it resurrects its ghosts."
‘A remarkable debut.’
‘Dark, intelligent, and beautifully written. If you love mysteries rooted in real history and characters who carry both strength and sorrow, this one delivers completely..’
Genre: Historical Mystery
