MEET DETECTIVE GEREON RATH IN THE BOOKS THAT INSPIRED THE HIT TV SERIES BABYLON BERLIN
Berlin, 1931. Infamous American gangster Abraham Goldstein takes up residence at the Excelsior, Berlin's most expensive and exclusive hotel.
Gereon Rath is assigned to keep Goldstein under surveillance as a favour to the FBI. Seeing this as a waste of his time, Rath takes on a private case for Johann Marlow, a morally dubious friend, and finds himself in the middle of a street war.
Meanwhile, Rath's on-off girlfriend, Charly, lets a young woman prisoner escape, unknowingly entangling their professional lives once more.
With corruption and violence all around, Berlin is a divided city where two worlds are about to collide: the American gangsters and the expanding influence of Nazism.
And both Rath and Charly are caught in the crossfire...
