March 2016Literary Travel Guide Upper Silesia
Five Tours through a baroque, (post)industrial, green and mystical Borderland
by Marcin Wiatr
Upper Silesia – a region in Poland with an eventful past, characterized by diverse cultures which influence each other and overlap. Here people live together, who feel themselves as Polish, German or Upper Silesian. Impulses for regional identity gives the multilingual literature. Here Joseph von Eichendorff, Max Herrmann-Neisse and Horst Bienek were born. Also Janosch has set a literary monument to his homeland, Tadeusz Różewicz lived and wrote here, Jaromír Nohavica sang about the region and director Kazimierz Kutz captured it in a film trilogy. The book literarily presents Upper Silesian places like Neisse/Nysa, Gleiwitz/Gliwice, Myslowitz/Mysłowice, Lubowitz/Łubowice and St. Annaberg/Góra Świętej Anny by examples of location, architecture, industry, landscape and mysticism.

September 2019When Hell Struck Twelve
A Billy Boyle WWII Mystery
by James R. Benn
In the 14th Billy Boyle mystery, US Army detective Billy Boyle and Lieutenant Kazimierz travel into the heart of Nazi-occupied Paris on a dangerous mission: ensure a traitor to the French Resistance unwittingly carries out a high-stakes deception campaign. August, 1944: US Army detective Billy Boyle is assigned to track down a French traitor, code-named Atlantik, who is delivering classified Allied plans to German leaders in occupied Paris. The Resistance is also hot on his trail and out for blood, after Atlantik’s previous betrayals led to the death of many of their members. But the plans Atlantik carries were leaked on purpose, a ruse devised to obscure the Allied army’s real intentions to bypass Paris in a race to the German border. Now Billy and Kaz are assigned to the Resistance with orders to not let them capture the traitor: the deception campaign is too important. Playing a delicate game, the chase must be close enough to spur the traitor on and visible enough to ensure the Germans trust Atlantik. The outcome of the war may well depend on it.

September 2020The Red Horse
(A Billy Boyle WWII Mystery)
by James R. Benn
Just days after the Liberation of Paris, US Army Detective Billy Boyle and Lieutenant Kazimierz are brought to Saint Albans Convalescent Hospital in the English countryside. Kaz has been diagnosed with a heart condition, and Billy is dealing with emotional exhaustion and his recent methamphetamine abuse. Meanwhile, Billy’s love, Diana Seaton, has been taken to Ravensbrück, the Nazi concentration camp for women, and Kaz’s sister, Angelika, who he recently learned was alive and working with the Polish Underground, has also been captured and transported to the same camp. This news is brought by British Major Cosgrove, who asks Billy for help, unofficially, in solving what he thinks was the murder of a British agent recuperating at Saint Albans. The convalescent hospital is really a secret installation for those in the world of clandestine warfare to recover from wounds, physical and emotional. Some are allowed to leave; others are deemed security risks and are detained there. When a second body is found, it is evident that a killer is at work in this high-security enclave. Now Billy must carry out his covert investigation while maintaining his tenuous recovery, shielding his actions from suspicious hospital authorities, and dodging the unknown murderer.
