 Book Log 2021 #49: The Kaiser's Web by Steve Berry

Cotton Malone stays in central Europe for this outing, where the results of the pending German election seem to hinge on what happened one spring day in 1945. The questions about what happened on the day Hitler apparently killed himself - did anyone survive, and where did all of the wealth accumulated by the Nazis go? - color the race between an Angela Merkel-type candidate and an opponent stoking up the same sentiments that took Germany into war.

Pretty typical entry in the series, probably a little better than the previous one although the big twist seemed pretty obvious. As with many of these books, it's right in the airport bookstore sweet spot.
