Gereon Rath is new in town and new to the police department. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen a dead man without an identity, bearing traces of atrocious torture, is discovered, Rath sees a chance to find his way back into the homicide division. He discovers a connection with a circle of oppositional exiled Russians who try to purchase arms with smuggled gold in order to prepare a coup d'état. But there are other people trying to get hold of the gold and the guns, too. Raths finds himself up against paramilitaries and organized criminals. He falls in love with Charlotte, a typist in the homicide squad, and misuses her insider's knowledge for his personal investigations. And as he gets further entangled with the case, he never imagined becoming a suspect himself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[Kutscher's] trick is ingenious...He's created a portrait of an era through the lens of genre fiction.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Babylon Berlin: Book 1 of the Gereon Rath Mystery Series | Volker Kutscher | Paperback | 9781250187048 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks E 1766253","offer_id":49376805650584,"sku":"1766253","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/A1_9F5K-XaL.jpg?v=1783019502","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/babylon-berlin-book-1-of-the-gereon-rath-mystery-series","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
