AT THE DAWN OF TALKING FILMS, A MOVIE STAR IS SILENCED FOREVER . . .

Berlin, 1930.

Glamorous actress Betty Winter suffers an agonising death when an overhead spotlight falls on her during the shoot of a new movie.

It looks like a tragic accident, but for Detective Inspector Gereon Rath, there are clues that point to murder. The prime suspect is lighting technician Peter Glaser, who has vanished without trace. Gereon’s colleagues in homicide are convinced Glaser is their man, but Gereon’s investigations lead him in a very different direction . . .

What Gereon doesn’t need is the distraction of his ex-girlfriend Charlotte. She wants him back.

To find Betty’s killer Gereon must enter the dark underbelly of Berlin where rival film studios, political factions within the police, Communists and Nazis are fighting a battle for the soul of the city.

But as tensions increase, so does the threat of outright violence that will bring danger and destruction — perhaps even to Gereon himself . . .

DISCOVER A BREATHTAKING SERIES OF CRIME MYSTERIES FULL OF TWISTS AND TURNS WITH THE INTOXICATING ATMOSPHERE OF BERLIN BETWEEN THE WARS.

Perfect for fans of Robert Harris, Philip Kerr, Martin Cruz Smith, Alan Furst, Tom Rob Smith, Joseph Kanon, David Downing.
