Berlin, Philip
Kerr’s Berlin Trilogy, Robert Ludlum, Andrew Gross, and William

Berlin
1939. The city is blanketed by snow and ice. In the distance, the
rumble of war grows louder. In the shadows, a serial killer rises . .
.
As
the Nazis tighten their chokehold on the capital, panic and paranoia
fester as blackout is rigidly enforced. Every night the city is
plunged into an oppressive, suffocating darkness—pitch perfect
conditions for unspeakable acts.
When a young woman is
found brutally murdered, it’s up to Criminal Inspector Horst
Schenke to solve the case quickly. His reputation is already on the
line for his failure to join the Nazi Party. If he doesn’t solve
the case, the consequences could be fatal.
Schenke's
worst fears are confirmed when a second victim is found. As the
investigation takes him deeper into the regime’s darkest corridors,
Schenke realizes danger lurks behind every corner—and that the
warring factions of the Reich can be as deadly as a killer stalking
the streets . . .
“That
line between right and wrong gets pretty smudged in this gem of a
story. Atmosphere, sharp intrigue, and a host of fascinating
characters all combine to make this one the next addition to your
keeper shelf."
—Steve Berry, New
York Times bestselling
author
“Mesmerising. Nail-biting. Unputdownable. Utterly
authentic and beautifully written.”
—Damien Lewis,
internationally bestselling author
