Description
In 1948 Hamburg, a city still reeling from the devastation of war, Chief Inspector Frank Stave is faced with a new and complex case. A boy's body is found in the ruins of a shipyard, and as he delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a world of "wolf children" - orphaned youngsters who have fled from the Occupied Eastern Territories and are now united in gangs. As Stave struggles to keep his personal life together, he must navigate this treacherous landscape of post-war Hamburg. The heat is oppressive, and the city's inhabitants are under increasing pressure. With two more bodies discovered, Stave's hunt for the killer becomes even more urgent. Set against the haunting backdrop of a city in crisis, The Wolf Children is a gripping police procedural that combines elements of romance and thriller. Translated from the German by Peter Millar, this novel is a well-crafted murder hunt that will stay with readers for a long time.
