Description
Detective Inspector Gereon Rath is at the centre of a gripping thriller set in Berlin's seedy underworld during the 1920s. In 1929, the city is a vibrant metropolis of post-war Germany, full of bars, brothels and dissatisfied workers. Rath, a detective from Cologne, is assigned to the Vice Squad after arriving in disgrace. A body with signs of torture is found in the canal, and Rath sees an opportunity to clear his name and earn his place in the homicide division. As Rath investigates, he uncovers a complex web of drugs, sex, and political intrigue. A gang of exiled Russians is involved in smuggling arms with gold, but others are also after the gold and the guns. Rath's mistakes and enemies pile up, and he becomes the prime suspect in the murder. With his reputation on the line, Rath must navigate the treacherous world of 1930s Berlin to clear his name. Set against the backdrop of Germany's struggle for power, Rath's story is a gripping and evocative thriller that explores the brutality and complexity of the world he is stepping into.
