Publisher's Summary

July 1932. When a drowned man is found in a freight elevator in Haus Vaterland, the giant pleasure palace on Potsdamer Platz, Inspector Gereon Rath is called in to investigate. It’s not that Rath hasn’t problems enough. His hunt for a mysterious contract killer has been stalled for weeks, and his on-off lover, Charlotte Ritter, has just begun her probationary year with Berlin CID. 

The corpse in Haus Vaterland looks to be part of a series of murders whose trail leads eastwards to the Polish border - and beyond.

Terrible production choices

Whatever rationale the production team on this audiobook found in portraying different German characters with regional and class accents from Great Britain is completely lost on me. For example, when we meet an SA officer, brown-shirt Nazi, he - of course - speaks with a Welsh accent.... Excuse fricking me?! The choices of accents (a kitchen worker with a London east end accent, etcetera) are so profoundly stupid as to be both delusional and insulting to the listener. This is, as we say in North America, "seriously messed up." And this spoils the entire narrative, as it relies heavily on dialogue between characters. Unbelievable!
