490 0 A Gereon Rath mystery
500 Translated from the German
520 Berlin, 1929. Detective Inspector Rath, was a successful
career officer in the Cologne Homicide Division before a
shooting incident in which he inadvertently killed a man.
He has been transferred to the Vice Squad in Berlin, a job
he detests, even though he finds a new friend in his boss,
Chief Inspector Wolter. There is seething unrest in the
city and the Commissioner of Police has ordered the Vice
Squad to ruthlessly enforce the ban on May Day
demonstrations. The result is catastrophic with many dead
and injured, and a state of emergency is declared in the
Communist strongholds of the city. When a car is hauled
out of Berlin's Landwehr Canal with a mutilated corpse
inside the Commissioner decides to use this mystery to
divert the attention of press and public from the
casualties of the demonstrations. The biggest problem is
that the corpse cannot be identified
