Publisher Description

As night descends, a killer awaits… With ten consecutive New York Times bestsellers, Faye Kellerman is truly a "master of mystery" (Cleveland Plain Dealer). Now she turns her acute eye on 1920s Munich, a war-wounded city rocked by political agitation and stalked by a nameless, barbaric butcher. Lustmord–the joy of murder. The terrifying concept seems apt for the brutal slaying of a beautiful young society wife dumped in the vast English Garden. Homicide inspector Axel Berg is horrified by the crime…and disturbed by the artful arrangement of the victim's clothes and hair –a madman's portrait of death. Berg's superiors demand quick answers and a quick arrest: a vagrant, the woman's husband, anyone who can be demonized will do. When a second body is discovered, the city erupts into panic, the unrest fomented by the wild-eyed, hate-mongering Austrian Adolf Hitler and his Brownshirt party of young thugs. Berg can trust no one as he relentlessly hunts a ruthless killer, dodging faceless enemies and back-alley intrigue, struggling to bring a fiend to justice before the country–and his life–veer straight into darkness.

    " Language. Any book that combines police corruption and Hilter is a bad choice for me. Probably an OK story but I should never had read it! "

    " A serial killer is loose in Munich pre WW2. Hitler is slowly working his way up to Chancellor, politics play an important role in this mystery. I liked it but didn't love it. "

    " Interesting because it takes place in Germany between the World Wars. I don't see much written in that period. A police inspector, only somewhat corrupt, is investigating serial killings in the setting of the rising popularity of Hitler and the Nazi party. "

    " A very dark murder mystery set in Germany just as Hitler is coming to power. All the German names were a bit confusing but definitely an intense story. I never knew who to trust or who did it. "
