His tenth case leads investigator Georg Dengler to Berlin Kreuzberg, where he finds himself right in the middle of Berlin’s current battle for the right to housing.
Within a radius of just a few hundred meters, Kreuzberg encompasses prefabricated concrete buildings, chic townhouses, the Turkish community, and the black bloc. And it is here of all places that the developer Kröger wants to evict the tenants of two buildings, tear down the adjacent kindergarten, and build a new townhouse – using criminal methods to freeze out his tenants.
But the tenants are fighting back; one of them asks Dengler’s girlfriend Olga for help. When a speculator falls from the roof of one of the buildings, the situation escalates. Wolfgang Schorlau once again proves himself a master of the political novel. Incredibly topical and suspenseful.
Rights to the Dengler series have been sold to Denmark, France, Greece, Poland, Sweden and Turkey.
