Republik - Paul Cockburn

BERLIN, NOVEMBER 1918: The war is ending. The Empire is falling.

   For robbery detective Gerhard Hoehner these dark days of a German

   winter are as much a struggle for food, fuel, and news as they are for

   any Berliner. But then the disappearance of veterans

   starts him on the trail of an elusive doctor, and into the face of dark forces

not ready to concede that the war has truly been lost.
