It is early summer in 1923 and the decayed corpse of a young woman is pulled from the cellar of a house in an upmarket district of Munich. Kommissar Otto Braucher is assigned to find out how she ended up suffering such a fate and what the purpose of the barely furnished house was. His investigations highlight to him that in a time when the mark is so weak, those with access to foreign currency can effectively buy absolutely anything in Germany.This novella is set in Munich during a period of hyperinflation, violence and political upheaval. With guns easily available and the currency spiralling out of control, it is a time in which people kill for many reasons. In this city Kommissar Otto Braucher, himself a veteran of the First World War, tries to unravel cases of murder against the hindrances of fixed minds and vested interests. Balancing detailed research with pace and mystery, Alexander Rooksmoor conjures up a very particular time and place that forms a fascinating back drop to a series of crime story novellas.This is Book 13 in the Otto Braucher Detective Series.
