Description

After the Great War, Germany remains a country rocked by conflict. The Nazis are creeping into positions of authority and Munich's police department is no exception. Inspektor Axel Berg of the MORDKOMMISSION - Munich's homicide squad - is called to investigate the murder of a young society wife, and he's immediately thrown into a web of dangerous intrigue. Suddenly, senior colleagues have an unprecedented interest in his work, and there are rumours of the death being linked to a political conspiracy. Then two more corpses are discovered. Is Berg searching for a lone lunatic or an assassin with a sinister agenda? With few to trust, Berg has to judge who's more dangerous: the killer who hunts in the darkness, or the faceless enemy that could be anyone.
