Cheshire. Present day.

A body of a 100-year-old woman is found on Detective Inspector Gary Lowton’s first day with the Cheshire Police Force. The police conclude that it is a crime of murder, but it doesn’t follow the usual pattern and there is no obvious motive.

Bavaria.

Second World War.

A young, disillusioned woman living in a small town in Bavaria gets involved with the Nazi party. Her journey through the ranks at Ravensbruk Concentration Camp coincides with that of a Jewish intern. Both women survive the war and flee to England.

For very different reasons, both create a new identity.

But the past always has a way of catching up. And eighty years later one of the women is the murder victim. Was she a monster from the past or an innocent victim and why was she murdered? DI Lowton leads an investigation full of twists, turns and blind alleys.

The Monster Within is a gripping murder mystery with a difference and delves into the horror of the very different fate befalling two German women in the Second World War.
