Thomas Hill is sent to Berlin to inves­ti­gate the mur­der of day spa owner Michael Sil­ver­stein, poi­soned at the Pankow Grand Hotel. As a young man Hill ran with one of Berlin’s motor­cy­cle gangs. Now, hired by the hotel to inves­ti­gate the mur­der, he finds him­self trav­el­ing on the right side of the law—but still by his own rules.

Enter the fas­ci­nat­ing world of Ger­man art, neo-Nazis and Jewish-Gentile rela­tion­ships, where age-old griev­ances lead to mur­der. “Mur­der in Berlin is moody, com­pelling and com­pletely won­der­ful! Thomas Hill is a lit­tle Joe Pike and a lit­tle Arkady Renko but wholly orig­i­nal. You won’t soon for­get Thomas Hill and the web of secrets that brings him to Berlin.”—Cynthia Ster­ling, inter­na­tion­ally best­selling author
