What you need to know before your trail
In Wilhelmsburg, Hamburg’s so-called ‘problem area’, an American couple is found brutally murdered in a derelict villa.
Prosecutor Chastity Riley is assigned the case, and quickly finds herself waist-deep in a murky tangle of city planners, shady investors and vanishing officials. The gentrification machine is rolling on, and someone is sending a very clear message.
As November fog settles over the city, Chastity is coughing up blood, her personal life is a slow-motion disaster, and her former colleague, Faller, won’t stop interfering. But nothing’s going to stop her from cutting through the lies – not even the sharks circling ever closer.

Hamburg
“The South of Hamburg is a shadowy neck of the woods. Supposedly, the next bit thing , the hot shit, the leap across the Elbe: Wilhelmsburg, the new Mitte; Hamburg, a city on the rise.”
“The problem is, this part of town has problems, and its emotional core is dreariness.”
