THE RHINELANDER

THE RHINELANDER
By Eric D. Howell

GENRE: War, Mystery
LOGLINE:

When a German prisoner of war is murdered in a Wisconsin POW camp, his friend and fellow soldier must reluctantly team up with a Jewish counterintelligence officer, a Native American guard and a local farmer to take down the fascist hardliners who have quietly assumed control of the camp and are plotting a deadly act of sabotage. 

SYNOPSIS:

Karl is a German prisoner-of-war, assigned

to a POW camp in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. He

is also a man of many secrets - in his past

and in his heart. As a closeted gay man, he

initially intends to live out the war in

obscurity. However, when Nazi hardliners

assassinate his best friend and would-be

lover, Karl fears for his life and escapes

into the countryside.

There, a Jewish counterintelligence officer

ensnares him and a Native American prison

guard into a plot that will turn Karl into

a mole and solve his friend’s murder.

By blowing up a fuel depot, the officer makes

Karl a hero among the hardliners, thereby

drawing him closer to them, and closer to the

hidden truth about the horrendous war crime

hidden in Karl’s past.
