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 . . . 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.' Bucher Reader reviews for The Wolf Children 'This is writing
at its best. A well crafted murder hunt set in haunting landscape
of post war Hamburg. Cay Rademacher has again written a book that
will stay in my memory for a long time' ***** 'Another atmospheric,
well-researched novel from Rademacher. He has a remarkable ability
to bring characters to life in the space of a paragraph' ***** 'A
bit of a goldilocks book. Not too heavy, not too light, not too
long, not too short. Just about right' ***** Translated from the
German by Peter Millar
