Book description
Bavaria, 1886 King Ludwig II, infamous for his eccentric behavior, is
declared insane by his government and removed from his throne. A day
later, Ludwig s corpse washes up in the shallows of Lake Starnberg.
Rumours about the cause of the tragedy abound, but few people know why
Ludwig was really killed. Or what secret was silenced by his death.
Germany, present day . . . Hidden among the crates in a newly discovered
Nazi bunker are documents stamped with a black swan, the insignia of the
murdered king. As a favour to a friend, Jonathon Payne and David Jones
fly to Bavaria to protect the documents, but soon face a life-or-death
battle against an unknown enemy. From the depths of the Black Forest to
the water canals underneath Ludwig s castles, the duo must solve the
mystery behind the king s death or share his tragic fate. Chris
