Berlin, 1928, the height of the Weimar Republic. Bernie is a young detective working in vice when he is seconded to investigate the Silesian Station killings : four prostitutes murdered in as many weeks, and in the same gruesome manner. Bernie hardly has time to acquaint himself with the case files before another murder occurs. Until now, no one has shown much interest in these victims - there are plenty in Berlin who'd like the streets washed clean of such degenerates.
But this time the girl's father runs Berlin's foremost criminal ring, and he's prepared to go to extreme lengths to find his daughter's killer. It seems that someone is determined to clean up Berlin of anyone less than perfect. The voice of Nazism is becoming a roar that threatens to drown out all others. But not Bernie Gunther's ... Metropolis is Bernie Gunther's fourteenth and final adventure. It is one of the finest novels in this matchless series of historical thrillers.
