AN AMERICAN HITMAN IS IN TOWN — BUT WHO IS HE HERE TO KILL?

1931, Berlin.

Notorious American gangster Abraham Goldstein takes up residence at the Excelsior, Berlin’s most exclusive hotel. But who is his target?

The FBI ask Detective Gereon Rath to keep a close eye on him. But when Gereon meets Goldstein face-to-face, he’s not what Gereon expected at all. Goldstein is suave, sophisticated, charming — and Gereon wonders just who are the good guys?

Meanwhile Gereon’s on-off girlfriend Charlotte is on her own personal mission to find a young woman who witnessed a murder carried out by the city’s own police.

Charlotte and Gereon’s professional worlds collide when it becomes clear that the young woman and Goldstein are connected.

Tensions in the city are reaching boiling point. Department stores are being robbed, bar brawls are becoming street brawls, people are getting killed — sometimes indiscriminately. With the Nazis tightening their grip, Gereon and Charlotte must contain the storm that Goldstein’s presence unleashes.

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.
