ull Length, Mystery Thriller / 4m, 2f.
Cell is a murder mystery - to about the same extent that Sophocles' Oedipus Rex is a murder mystery. Lieutenant Rodriguez questions Dennis Kadman about his older brother Michael, who has OD'd on heroin in Dennis' apartment. Dennis wants to know: who gave Michael the drugs? Michael was a cunning, manipulative addict. But he was a diabetic double amputee, placed in his brother's care by the courts - and Dennis tried to keep him alive and drug-free. Through flashbacks, we see the fractious relationship between the brothers, and how they interacted with other "suspects," including Edith, the Jamaican nurse who believed Michael should be allowed to choose to die; Julie, Dennis' fiancée who hated what Michael was doing to Dennis and to their relationship; and Byron, Michael's homeless friend with whom he had lived on the streets. Like Oedipus, while looking for the culprit, Dennis learns far too much about himself.

Hitler and his two highest-ranking deputies-Heinrich Mueller, head of the Gestapo, and Martin Bormann, deputy Reichsminister-abscond to South America in May of 1945. Berlin lies in ruins, the war close to the end. Embarrassed by Hitler's escape, an elaborate hoax is set up by the Allies and the Russians, leading the world to believe the chancellor of Germany is dead in the smoldering wreckage of the bunker. Helga Heinlein, our protagonist, a German Jew, fleas Germany before the Holocaust and spends the war in Philadelphia, earning her laurels as a landscape painter. She returns to a postwar Berlin that lies in ruins. Needing a job, she joins the police due to a shortage in manpower and, by 1963, becomes West Berlin's leading police detective. It is April Fool's Day 1963, and Lieutenant Helga Heinlein, Berlin's leading detective, is taking a run through Berlin's Grunewald forest when she stumbles upon the bodies of three Jewish businessmen. The political establishment is shocked, and she receives an order to solve this case before Kennedy comes to West Berlin on June 16. Within days, the president of the federal police presidium is indicted, but our detective smells a cover-up. With the help of Simon Wiesenthal, the Viennese Nazi hunter, she finds the three dead men are the key to a fraud ring during WWII that leads back to the Nazi high command, part of which seems to be alive and well in 1963. In her zeal for justice, she reunites with missing relatives but uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the free world.

The three men went into the house and he could hear women screaming. If all the guests did as they were told, give up their jewels, then maybe there would be no shooting—or killing. Sam got to the rear of the van and pulled his gun. He had jacked a shell into the firing chamber when Carole had left him. He cocked it, made sure the safety was on, then walked swiftly down the driver’s side of the van. The driver was watching the front entrance, which was on the passenger side. He never knew what hit him. Sam yanked open the door and hit him in the back of the head with his gun. He retrieved the duct tape from beside the still unconscious guard and taped the man’s hands to the steering wheel, then taped his mouth. He secured his ankles with tape and took the keys from the ignition and pocketed them. For good measure, he found a twig and let the air out of both tires on the driver’s side. Now what? He thought. Where the hell are the cops? www.wolfwootan.com
