Description
In November 1918, socialist revolution sweeps across Germany, transforming Berlin, already ravaged by war, into a political battleground.
Four women from the slums are discovered dead, all with identical markings on their back. When the fifth turns out to be Rosa Luxemburg, a leader of the suppressed socialist uprising, the political police complicate the investigations of Detective Inspector Nicolai Hoffner and his assistant Hans Fichte.Rabb brings to life a world capital on the brink of chaos, a tragic revolutionary who inspired and enraged in equal measure and a compellingly complex, world-weary, deeply flawed but brilliant inspector, Nikolai Hoffner.Critic Reviews
"...a novel so richly drawn, so dark and so compelling it reaches into your gut and holds on tight..." Detroit Free Press "a ghostly noir that could have been conspired at by Raymond Chandler and Andre Malraux." Harper's "Rabb wields a deft and chilling pen." Richmond Times Dispatch "The hallmarks of Jonathan Rabb's writing are impeccable research, extraordinary attention to detail, superb style and a deep respect for his readers." Charles Middleburgh, Amazon.co.uk"
