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.
PRAISE FOR GOLDSTEIN:
“Tough, gritty and altogether superb, Goldstein is a worthy addition to the addictive Gereon Rath series.” William Ryan, bestselling author of The Constant Soldier
“Goldstein is maybe the best of the series so far . . . like the bastard love child of Christopher Isherwood and Raymond Chandler.” CrimeReads
“Even better than the first two . . . a strong storyline, set against an increasing buildup in 1930s Berlin between Nazi and communist factions.” The Journal of the Law Society of Scotland
“Volker Kutscher’s books following Detective Inspector Gereon Rath through Berlin are gripping thrillers set against a wonderfully evoked background of Germany in the dying days of the Weimar Republic.” New European
MEET THE DETECTIVE
Detective Inspector Gereon Rath is in his early thirties. Born in 1899, he joined the army at eighteen only for the war to be over before he’d fired a single shot. Transferred from Cologne’s homicide division under a cloud of scandal when he accidentally killed an innocent man, he’s recently joined Berlin’s Vice Squad, a job he detests. A stranger in a strange city, he’s an outsider, distrusted by his colleagues. He’s smart and tenacious, but incapable of following orders or getting along with his superiors. He’s begun an on-off love affair with his colleague, Charlotte Ritter, a relationship which is fraught with difficulties.
THE SETTING
Berlin in the early 1930s is a dangerous, decadent place; a corrupt and chaotic city of seedy dance bars, illegal strip clubs, brothels, gunrunning and street riots. The hyperinflation of the Weimar years has turned moral values on their head, and the police struggle to maintain law and order. The Prussian Empire has recently fallen, and Germany is sliding slowly and inexorably into the horrors of Nazism.
