Correction

Hi,

apology to German speakers - I am learning German at the moment, part of trying to improve the context of my Max Becker stories - I noticed that I made a mistake with the gender of the compund noun Der Mädchenjäger - I had it as 'Das', which is correct for Mädchen but should have followed the 'Der' of Jäger, which is masculine.

“Bastian says, "see that's my weakness, I'm crap at politics. But be careful; don't make yourself look weak, not in the lion's den."
Otti smiles, saying, "I think you'll find, in the lion's world, it's the lioness does all the hunting and killing."
"True, but the lion always gets to eat first, doesn't he?”
Tim Wickenden, Angel Avenger: A Max Becker Thriller

“As a fellow Wehrmacht soldier and war veteran, he feels great sympathy for this man. Postwar Germany had little time for its veterans, wanting to bury the shame in denial.”
Tim Wickenden, Angel Avenger: A Max Becker Thriller

“The more we know, the more we don't," says Max, "one question simply brings three more.”
