In 1934, the city of Breslau is shrouded in an implacable atmosphere. Eberhard Mock, a detective from the local police's Criminal Section, is known for his unorthodox methods, his fondness for chess, and his frequent presence in luxury brothels. Mock possesses a secret archive with compromising information on local personalities, which allows him to solve cases in exchange for favors and privileges. However, the arrival of the Nazi Party has changed the landscape, forcing Mock to collaborate with a Gestapo assistant. Furthermore, he fears that his Masonic past will come to light and lead him to disgrace. Now, Mock must solve the brutal murder of a baron's daughter, hide his past, and deal with the arrival of a Berlin policeman who reopens the case.
Marek Krajewski is a Polish crime writer and linguist.
