A power struggle is taking place in Berlin's underworld. The American gangster Abraham Goldstein is in residence at the Hotel Excelsior. As a favour to the FBI, the police put him under surveillance with Detective Gereon Rath on the job. As Rath grows bored and takes on a private case for his seedy pal Johann Marlow, he soon finds himself in the middle of a Berlin street war. Meanwhile Rath's on-off girlfriend, Charly, lets a young woman she is interrogating escape, and soon her investigations cross Rath's from the other side. Berlin is a divided city where two worlds are about to collide: the world of the American gangster and the expanding world of Nazism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"[Kutscher's] trick is ingenious...He's created a portrait of an era through the lens of genre fiction.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Volker Kutscher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250206340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250206343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Volker Kutscher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046538080511,"sku":"9781250206343","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c975a3a0-7ad1-4006-b511-706370ee2802.jpg?v=1684985115","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/goldstein-volker-kutscher-9781250206343","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
