Hamburg 1947: It is the year of extremes. After a bitterly cold winter of starvation, the bombed city groans under excruciating heat. And Chief Inspector Frank Stave is confronted with a new case. In the ruins of a shipyard, the corpse of a boy is found and Stave's hunt for the killer leads him into the world of "wolf children" - orphaned children who have fled from the Occupied Eastern Territories and are now united in gangs. When two more bodies are discovered Stave is under even increasing pressure as he struggles to keep his personal life together too....

This book is set in Hamburg in 1947 and is a German translation. A child body is found is a shipyard and Inpector Frank Stave need to maneuver the polictal mind fields to solve the case. If you are a fan of police procedural and enjoy historical fiction this is a great book. It is the 2nd book of the series and I can't wait for others to be translated.

An Inspector Frank Stave series.

I like Chief Inspector Stave a lot. I don't always agree with his personal choices (hug him for goodness sake) but he's a good cop and a nice guy. His interactions with the 14-year old girl were kind.

Hamburg in 1947 is another character in the book. Not a city that has been featured a lot. Very interesting place and time. I do question whether the term "baby bump" was used in the Forties though.

Excellent narration.

I hope there are more books. I look forward to them.
