Richter's War — Daniel P. Douglas

In this short story, L.A.'s hard-boiled, World War II-era private detective Geno Richter faces down a new paranormal Nazi enemy, one that he must stop before it can deal a deadly blow to the American war effort. After narrowly surviving a fight with a vicious Nazi thug, Geno Richter soon learns he's on the trail of a dangerous, racist-inspired assassination plot. But then the mystery deepens as Richter encounters a Nazi agent whose evil talents are unlike anything he has ever seen or imagined. In addition to his tough, no-nonsense approach, Richter has a few tricks of his own, and he'll need them more than ever to stop the Nazi plan and hunt down this new, devious enemy. Richter's War is Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade meets Lovecraft's Cthulhu with an air of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The X-Files. At times, it is eerie and foreboding like The Hound of the Baskervilles and at other times the stories evoke the spirit of a supernatural thriller by Anthony M. Strong. Richter's War is full of action and adventure, history, mystery, and suspense, all whipped up by the supernatural aspirations of villainous Nazis. Includes an excerpt from the first book in the series, RICHTER'S WAR: Case of the Japanese Alien!
