ReviewsPraise for the Gereon Rath series: "Volker Kutscher's Babylon Berlin series is like the love child of Christopher Isherwood and Raymond Chandler." --Paul French, CrimeReads (Favorite Crime Books of the Year) "The first in a series that's been wildly popular in Germany is an excellent police procedural that cleverly captures the dark and dangerous period of the Weimer Republic before it slides into the ultimate evil of Nazism."-- Kirkus Reviews "Gereon's inquiries drag him through the mire of Berlin's underworld and the chaos of the politics of the period. Riveting and atmospheric."-- Library Journal "James Ellroy fans will welcome Kutscher's first novel and series launch, a fast-paced blend of murder and corruption sent in 1929 Berlin. Kutscher keeps the surprises coming and doesn't flinch at making his lead morally compromised."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Conjures up the dangerous decadence of the Weimar years, with blood on the Berlin streets and the Nazis lurking menacingly in the wings."-- The Sunday Times (London) "Gripping evocative thriller set in Berlin's seedy underworld during the roaring Twenties. A massive hit in its native Germany, Volker Kutscher's series, centered on Detective Inspector Gereon Rath, is currently being filmed for television."-- Mail on Sunday (London), Praise for the Gereon Rath series: "The first in a series that's been wildly popular in Germany is an excellent police procedural that cleverly captures the dark and dangerous period of the Weimer Republic before it slides into the ultimate evil of Nazism."-- Kirkus Reviews "Gereon's inquiries drag him through the mire of Berlin's underworld and the chaos of the politics of the period.
