Murder in Bablesberg (vol. IV)
Berlin, 1926
The body of a woman is discovered in the courtyard of an elegant residential block in Kreuzberg. She has been stabbed to death with a shard of red glass. The dead woman happens to be Superintendant Wechsler’s former lover Marlene Dornow, whom he hasn’t seen for years. He doesn’t tell anyone about his connection with the dead woman – not even his wife, Clara –, instead throwing himself into the investigations with grim determination. It turns out Marlene was being kept by a string of wealthy men, most recently by a politician who happens to be a close associate of the foreign minister Gustav Stresemann. Then a second corpse turns up: Viktor König, the celebrated film director – also stabbed to death with a shard of red glass ...
