THE SHADOW OF TRUTHFOLLOW INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST DANIEL FALKaf PETER SCHMALZ

THE SHADOW OF TRUTH – a mini crime novel that takes you on a journey through the dark corners of Europe, where power, deception, and personal sacrifices intertwine in a complex tale of truth’s hidden forces. In this book, we follow the Danish investigative journalist Daniel Falk, whose relentless pursuit of justice and truth leads him from the streets of Copenhagen to the mysterious alleys of Berlin, Paris, and Rome, and further into the concealed landscapes of Eastern Europe. Along the way, he is confronted not only by the corrupt power structures determined to suppress the truth but also by the ghosts of his past, and a traitor he once considered a friend. The story explores themes such as the courage to ask difficult questions, the cost of seeking the truth, and the ethical dilemmas that arise when ideals clash with harsh realities. It is a tale that reminds us that truth is not always black and white ‒ and that the fight for justice often demands the willingness to confront both external enemies and the darkness within ourselves. I hope that, as a reader, you will find inspiration, reflection, and excitement within these pages, and that THE SHADOW OF TRUTH will spark a desire to seek the light, even when darkness seems to have taken over.
