It happened in Schöneberg
Fiction, Thriller / Crime
Berlin, 1927: during a fashion show at the Café Romanesque, it emerges that two of the models’ outfits have been tampered with—impregnated with a contact poison in what appears to be a deliberate assault on the Morgenstern & Fink fashion house. Is an envious competitor behind the assault? Shortly afterwards, a man’s body is found in Schöneberg and the investigators come across a Morgenstern & Fink brochure in his apartment…
Leo Wechsler, now Chief Commissioner with the Berlin CID, is entrusted with the investigation.
