Berlin 1943. August Schlegel lives in a world full of questions with no easy answers. Why is he being called out on a homicide case when he works in financial crimes?

Why did the old Jewish soldier with an Iron Cross shoot the block warden in the eye then put a bullet through his own head? Why does Schlegel persist with the case when no one cares because the Jews are all being shipped out anyway? & why should Eiko Morgen, wearing the dreaded black uniform of the SS, turn up & say he has been assigned to work with him?
 
Corpses, dressed with fake money, bodies flayed beyond recognition: are these routine murders committed out of rage or is someone trying to tell them something...

For fans of Robert Harris, David Peace & Joseph Kanon
- a taut, gripping & darkly menacing novel set in wartime Berlin.

But Becca's scheming younger sister, Ellen, upsets their plans with a shocking announcement: she is pregnant with George's child.
