The Butchers of Berlin   Chris Petit
Excellent novel about policemen in 1943 Berlin trying to solve a series of gruesome murders. Good characterizations, a complex plot that continues to reveal surprises, written in a readable prose. Took a little while to get going, but it was well-done right from the start. Felt like I was there. Very accurate portrayal of the nihilistic, amoral, sinister, brutal, and corrupt Third Reich. By the end couldn’t put it down. Really liked it, so much, I ordered the sequel.
