What you need to know before your trail

Hitler’s rule casts a menacing shadow over the city. As the distant war moves closer, Criminal Inspector Horst Schenke fights to keep criminals off his patch. But he is walking a tightrope. If his secret relationship with a Jewish woman is exposed, his career will be over. And her fate will be far, far worse.

In Hitler’s regime, Berlin’s gangsters and pimps are more brazen than ever. When innocent victims are caught in the crossfire between warring gangs, Schenke wants the perpetrators punished. But Nazi party members with absolute power will do anything to protect their sleazy friends. They believe no one is incorruptible. All they need is to find out Schenke’s secrets . . .

Will Schenke’s relentless pursuit bring the criminals to justice – or is a deadly net closing around him from which it will be impossible to break free?

Berlin

As you might imagine, the city and history are evoked in detail and in very dark detail at that. The war breaks out and you get to see how it all happened. How Hitler planned events and got the city to the brink and then took it over to be the darkest period in history known to man.

‘A good conscience was a luxury, and a dangerous one. It seemed to him now that all that mattered was to survive and protect those closest to him as best he could, and silently pray for deliverance from the Führer and his followers.’
