Summary
In post-World War I Germany, veteran Detective Inspector Nikolai Hoffner has been baffled by the corpses of middle-aged women appearing around Berlin, all with signature designs carved into their backs. After a fifth body is discovered, Hoffner is shown a… sixth at the morgue - that of the infamous Socialist revolutionary, Rosa Luxemburg. Her corpse has similar markings with subtle differences, but the body is spirited away by the political police while Hoffner is launched into a perilous, labyrinthine inquiry. Some descriptions of sex and violence, some strong language. 2005.
