Mit diesem langen neuen Roman hat der Bestseller-Autor Ben Aaronovitch ein weiteres böse lustiges und überraschend beeinflussendes Kapitel in seiner geliebten Rivers of London-Serie geschaffen. Wenn Sie dachten, Magie sei auf ein Land beschränkt – denken Sie noch einmal darüber nach. Trier: berühmt für Wein, Römer und Deutschlands älteste Stadt. Wenn ein Mann tot aufgefunden wird, dessen Körper unmöglich mit einer Pilzfäule bedeckt ist, wissen die lokalen Behörden, dass sie aus ihrer Tiefe sind. Aber zum Glück ist das Deutschland, wo es für alles Verfahren gibt. Betreten Sie Tobias Winter, einen Ermittler für die Abteilung KDA, die Abteilung der Bundeskriminalpolizei, die sich mit dem Übernatürlichen befasst. Sein Ziel ist es, einzusteigen, das Problem zu lösen und mit einem Minimum an Aufwand, persönlicher Gefahr und Papierkram auszukommen. Zusammen mit der erschreckend begeisterten lokalen Polizistin Vanessa Sommer verbindet er schnell das erste Opfer mit einer Gruppe gewöhnlicher Männer mittleren Alters, deren neuartige Herangehensweise an ihre Mittellebenskrise vielleicht einen blutigen Konflikt aus einem früheren Jahrhundert wiedererweckt hat. Während sich die Fäulnis buchstäblich ausbreitet und sich die Verdächtigenliste auf Menschen erstreckt, die vor Friedrich dem Großen geboren wurden, müssen Tobias und Vanessa an unerwarteten Orten Verbündete finden. Und um den Fall zu lösen, müssen sie die geheime magische Geschichte einer Stadt entdecken, die zweitausend Jahre zurückreicht. Angenommen, die Geschichte tötet sie nicht zuerst.
