Second Victory

Second Victory by Morris L. West Winter 1945. The Second
World War is over but it is a time of armistice not peace.
Austria is grieving its defeat and the loss of a
generation of men; it is a land without leaders. To men
like Major Mark Hanlon Occupation Commander of the alpine
town of Bad Quellenberg falls the task of destroying the
legacy of the Nazis once and for all. When his driver is
murdered by an Austrian soldier Hanlon is determined to
bring the man to justice. But investigating the crime
proves difficult in a community where nearly everyone has
something to hide. Morris Wests fast-moving story
brilliantly evokes the atmosphere of occupation in a
traumatized postwar Europe.
