“Three questions, two offbeat detectives and one ring with a dark secret hidden in the Berlin Wall. Oh, and a sadistic serial killer on the loose.”
Detective Inspector Marcus Keller, of the Homicide Department in Berlin, and his new colleague Vanessa Schultz are investigating a series of murders all linked to the gloomy past of East Berlin and the Wall that divided the city and its people. The perpetrator smashes his victims’ bodies with a hammer, leaving them like broken dolls except for their faces, which he leaves untouched. A race against time begins, where no one and nothing is what it seems. Stasi double agents, illicit love affairs, unacknowledged family secrets, death, betrayal and revenge lead inexorably to a climax in the past that now haunts the present and the future. The guilty must pay. And the three questions are just the beginning. Or the end!
