Head of Hamburg’s Murder Commission, Jan Fabel is used to the dead, but when a routine enquiry spirals out of control he finds himself on much closer terms with death – his own.
As he struggles to process this experience, his first case comes back to haunt him: Monika Krone’s body is found at last, fifteen years after she disappeared. Monika – beautiful, intelligent, cruel – was the centre of a group obsessed with the gothic.
When men who knew Monika start turning up dead, the crime scenes full of gothic symbolism, Fabel realizes he is looking for a killer with both a hunger for vengeance and a terrifying taste for the macabre.
A true gothic demon is stalking the streets of Hamburg . . .
