Synopsis
Bad enough to spend a summer holiday being ogled by overweight men well past their sell by date, even worse to come back to one's desk and find out that Berlin's serial killers have not been on vacation. There's the Stamper who tracks down foreign women, strangles them and stamps T for Turk, C for Chilean, P for Pole on their forehead. Another murderer kills men, after sex, with a karate chop to the neck. And then there's the militant JoAnne Little Brigade, taking revenge on men for violence against women.
Homophobic perverts, fascists with a score to settle with history, fund raising prostitutes and a Wall about to come down. Welcome back, Inspector Lietze!

About the Author
Pieke Biermann formerly worked as a prostitute and is now one of Germany's leading crime writers. She lives in Berlin. She was awarded the German Crime Writers Prize for Violetta, and has won it on one other occasion.
Review
?Pieke Bierman has an apocalyptic imagination. Her voice - telling us of violence and despair as we hurtle to the end of the millennium - is unique among contemporary crime writers? Sara Paretsky ?A fascinating, intense glimpse of Berlin? Liza Cody
