Goldstein: The Third Case of Gereon Rath

An American gangster who "falls" into Berlin gets Commissioner Rath involved in international mafia affairs as well as Berlin's underworld. A multidimensional, complex intrigue. In the background, the devastation of the economic depression and the rise of the Nazis…

The range of crimes and crimes in Goldstein is extraordinarily wide this time! The realm of petty crime ranges from child thieves to the mafia, international criminal connections and racist violence. What Kutscher is a master at
That's it: a tremendously rich description of the "spirit of the times."

This third novel of the Commissioner Rath series, which gained international fame with the Berlin Babylon television adaptation, is also remarkable with its mastery of the "hard-boiled detective" style. The figure of the Jewish-American gangster made it possible to address not only the anti-Semitism in Germany in the 1930s, but also the American mafia "custom".

“Despite the length of the novel, Kutscher manages to keep the tension alive throughout 119 chapters. Corruption, murder and the rise of national socialism illuminate its complex pattern in many ways.”
