SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA INTERNATIONAL DAGGER AWARD 2019 Hamburg,
1948 In a routine operation, Chief Inspector Frank Stave is shot
down. He survives, but transfers from the murder commission to the
office combatting the black market. There, Stave is confronted with
an enigmatic case: Trummerfrau, women helping to clear rubble from
Hamburg's bombed streets, discover works of art from the Weimar
period - right next to a unidentified corpse. Shortly afterwards,
mysterious banknotes whose existence disturbs the Allies' secret
plans begin to pop up on the black market. The Supervisor soon
discovers strange parallels between the two cases. With the
introduction of a new currency, Stave thinks he is on the brink of
a solution. But the truth is dangerous, and not just for him.
Praise for the Frank Stave Investigations 'Undoubtedly the most
powerful work of crime fiction I have read this year' Independent
'Vivid and harrowing' Sunday Times 'Police procedural, romance,
thriller The Murderer in Ruins has a bit of everything and it's one
hell of a read.' Bücher Reader Reviews for The Forger 'An
excellent series based in Hamburg just after World War II.
Interesting characters and story lines - a view from defeated
Germany we wouldn't normally hear' ***** 'Characters were good,
plot good and it really highlights post war Germany and the
inequalities among both sides. The only really disappointing thing
is there is not a fourth one to read' ***** 'I could not put it
down. Brilliant' ***** Translated from the German by Peter Millar
