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?

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.
