Description
BERLIN. MAY 1940. AS HITLER PREPARES TO INVADE WESTERN EUROPE, THERE IS BLOODSHED CLOSER TO HOME
CI Horst Schenke is an investigator with the Kripo unit. Powerless against the consequences of the war, he fights to keep criminals off his patch. But with doubts growing about his loyalty to the Nazi regime, he is walking a tightrope. If his relationship with a Jewish woman is exposed, a dreadful fate awaits.
Berlin's gangsters run their crime rings with impunity. Decadent senior Nazis protect them. Schenke is different. He won't turn a blind eye when innocents are caught in the crossfire between warring gangs. But dangerous enemies know everything about him. They will do whatever it takes to bend him to their will . . .
From the seedy wartime nightlife scene to aristocratic homes frequented by the Führer, as the distant war spirals ever closer, A Death in Berlin conveys the horror and banality of evil - and the terrible danger for those who dare stand against it.
The stunning new Berlin wartime thriller from the author of Blackout and Dead of Night.

"A Death in Berlin" opens in May 1940, three months after the events of "Dead of Night".
Inspector Horst Schenke and his Kripo colleagues are investigating a forged food ration coupon ring.
One of their prime suspects is found dead in an alley and the criminal gangs close ranks to block the police.
Schenke is investigating the victim's colleagues and rivals in order to identify the culprits but many are protected by their political connections in the upper echelons of the Nazi Party.
Schenke finds himself threatened with the exposure of his secrets in order to make him turn a blind eye but his sense of honour makes this difficult to contemplate.
This series is shaping up to be one of Scarrow's best
