By (author): Volker Kutscher
MEET DETECTIVE GEREON RATH IN THE BOOKS THAT INSPIRED THE HIT TV SERIES BABYLON BERLIN
Tough, gritty and altogether superb, Goldstein is a worthy addition to the addictive Gereon Rath series. -William Ryan, author of The Constant Soldier
Volker Kutscher continues his Gereon Rath Mystery series with Goldstein. Inspector Gereon Rath investigates crime and corruption in decadent 1930s Berlin as the Nazi movement grows around him.
Berlin, 1931. Infamous American gangster Abraham Goldstein takes up residence at the Excelsior, Berlins most expensive and exclusive hotel.
Gereon Rath is assigned to keep Goldstein under surveillance as a favour to the FBI. Seeing this as a waste of his time, Rath takes on a private case for Johann Marlow, a morally dubious friend, and finds himself in the middle of a street war.
Meanwhile, Raths on-off girlfriend, Charly, lets a young woman prisoner escape, unknowingly entangling their professional lives once more.
With corruption and violence all around, Berlin is a divided city where two worlds are about to collide: the American gangsters and the expanding influence of Nazism.
And both Rath and Charly are caught in the crossfire
