_____________________

Berlin, 1932.

A drowned man is found in an elevator, miles from any water. How did he get there?

Has Gereon Rath got a serial killer on his hands?

The investigation takes Rath to a remote village on the Polish border where a wild man is said to live. Local villagers believe him to be the mythical forest creature known as the Kaubuk.

Kaubuk is said to have quit society to live in the desolate marshland, but Rath links him to a recent series of murders by drowning which have shocked Berlin.

Meanwhile Rath’s fiancée Charlotte has battles of her own. Her bosses don’t believe a woman should be working in the male-dominated police force.

Rath’s case is thrown off course when it tears open old wounds — wounds that lead to a fateful confrontation with the rising Nazi party. Can Rath catch the killer before they strike again?

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 and David Downing.
