David McK (3600 KP) rated A Death in Berlin (CI Schenke #3) in Books
Sep 7, 2025
In this one, it's largely about gang warfare, with CI Schenke and his team (some of whom he has to be very careful around) pulled into the investigation of a murder in Berlin (hence the tile) as Hitler prepares to invade Poland, and finding this murder may be connected to another case they are investigating around forged food coupons.
As before, it's shocking that some of the stuff you read about here - specifically, the with-holding of those (non forged) coupons from the Jewish community - actually happened!
