It's 1928, and Berlin is a city on the edge of chaos, where nothing is truly verboten. At central police HQ, the Murder Commission has its hands full. A killer is on the loose, and though he scatters many clues, each is a dead end. It's almost as if he is taunting the cops. This is what Bernie Gunther finds on his first day with the Murder Commisson. He's been taken on because the people at the top have noticed him - they think he has the makings of a first-rate detective. But not just yet. Right now, he has to listen and learn.

Seventeen years after the fall of the Third Reich, Max Weill has never forgotten the atrocities he saw as a prisoner at Auschwitz - nor the face of Dr. Otto Schramm, a camp doctor who worked with Mengele on appalling experiments and who sent Max’s family to the gas chambers. As the war came to a close, Schramm was one of the many high-ranking former-Nazi officers who managed to escape Germany for new lives in South America, where leaders like Argentina’s Juan Perón gave them safe harbor and new identities.

Publisher's Summary
Berlin, 1931. 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.

Great fiction, well narrated!
I watched the TV series and it was excellent. But I love the books! It’s hard to find good old fashioned detective stories; the Gereon Rath series fits the bill! I highly recommend these books by Volker Kutscher.

The best yet
The plots are deeper, the thirties move along, the characters have more complexity. If you liked the other Gereon Rath books you will love this one! Mark Meadows gets 5 stars, too!

The rise of Nazism begins!!!
The over all bad guys okay, but what made this story more interesting than the other two books was that we are beginning to see the effects of the Great Depression and the repercussions its having on German society, and not just on the average German worker, but on the police too. The love story is a bit weak it like a soap opera and to would have been good to go a little bit deeper into the German underworld. Overall the book was great a must read for this great series.

NOT A WINNER
I'm not sure if its the translation or the original text but the writing is lame (E.g. His temper rose like a thermometer in boiling water) and the story moves so slowly and predictably I want to increase the speed to 2x just to get it over with. Too bad.

The header said this was in English read by Mark Meadows. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in the series. However, this one is in German, though the description states otherwise. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a response from audible on this. Maybe I was using the wrong language.
