Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Berlin, between the two world wars. When an executive at the renowned Ufa film studios is found dead floating in his office bathtub, it falls to Nikolai Hoffner, a chief inspector in the Kriminalpolizei, to investigate.

Being swept up in the case are Hoffner's new lover, an American talent agent for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and his two sons: Georg, who has dropped out of school to work at Ufa, and Sascha, his angry, older son, who, unknown to his father, has become fully entrenched in the new German Workers Party as the aide to its Berlin leader, Joseph Goebbels. …

A studio executive from Ufa is found dead in his bathtub setting in motion an investigation that takes in Berlin's thriving cinema scene, Sex and drugs trade, Hitler's Brownshirts and monorchists looking to rearm a post-Versailles Germany. Jonathan Rabb (born April 28, 1964) is an American novelist, essayist, actor and writer. The Berlin Trilogy is a set of historical mysteries: Rosa (2005), a detective story set in 1918 in war-ravaged Berlin, which introduces the characters of Detective Inspector Nikolai Hoffner and his assistant Hans Fichte of the Kriminalpolizei. Shadow and Light (2009) takes place in 1927, when an executive at the newly-famous Ufa film studios is found dead. The Second Son (2011) is set later, before the 1936 Olympics, and continues the story Chief Inspector Nikolai Hoffner's life as his family's fortunes come up against the Nazi regime.(Wikipedia).…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Berlin, between the two world wars. When an executive at the renowned Ufa film studios is found dead floating in his office bathtub, it falls to Nikolai Hoffner, a chief inspector in the Kriminalpolizei, to investigate. With the help of Fritz Lang (the German director) and Alby Pimm (leader of the most powerful crime syndicate in Berlin), Hoffner finds his case taking him beyond the world of film and into the far more treacherous landscape of Berlin?s sex and drug trade, the rise of Hitler?s Brownshirts (the SA), and the even more astonishing attempts by onetime monarchists to rearm a post-Versailles Germany. Being swept up in the case are Hoffner?s new lover, an American talent agent for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and his two sons: Georg, who has dropped out of school to work at Ufa, and Sascha, his angry, older son, who, unknown to his father, has become fully entrenched in the new German Workers Party as the aide to its Berlin leader, Joseph Goebbels. What a spellbinding novel Shadow and Light is, and what a novelist Jonathan Rabb has become! When we last met Hoffner, it was 1919, and he had taken on the disappearance and death of Rosa Luxembourg in Rosa, a novel the critic John Leonard hailed as ?a ghostly noir that could have been conspired at by Raymond Chandler and Andr? Malraux.? Shadow and Light is equally brilliant and atmospheric, and even harder to put down or shake off. Like Joseph Kanon or Alan Furst, Rabb magically fuses a smart, energetic narrative with layers of fascinating, vividly documented history. The result is a stunning historical thriller, created by a writer to celebrate?and contend with.…
