Bluthund

Bluthund is an anthology that includes two psychological thrillers written by the author recently, sharing, albeit partially, their characters. The two books are separate pieces and can be read in any order, although the author prefers given in the book. The synopsis of the works are as follows.

I Ching— Ten Wings: An old Chinese scholar living in Buenos Aires instructs a young niece and her boyfriend to interpret the I Ching (the Chinese oracle and book of wisdom).

In China a powerful drug dealer weaves a complex plot to oust his competitors from world markets from his new base in South America. The Chinese triads and the Japanese Yakuza get entangled in this complex weft.

For obscure reasons their actions seriously endanger the whole scholar´s family. I Ching guides them to face the threat. Vibrant thriller in its entirety.

Blood Runes: In the eleventh century, after leaving the misty shores of Markland a Viking drakkar is dragged to the Yucatan Peninsula where the Mayan culture flourishes. By marrying the daughter of a tribal chief, Bjarni becomes aware of a treasure hidden in the ruins of an abandoned temple. Years later he decides to return to Greenland but his ship sinks. Upon reaching land he leaves runic inscriptions referring to the Mayan treasures and to intriguing ruins of a city of white men above the Arctic Circle, site of the legendary Thule according to clairvoyants linked to Nazism. At the present time a group of researchers from a virtual society is following in his footsteps but must face a powerful group seeking to restore the Thousand Year Reich on the one hand, and looters of cultural treasures on the other.
