"On a hot June day when the body of a sixteen-year-old girl washes up on a riverbank outside of Frankfurt. She has been brutally murdered and shows signs of long-term abuse, but no one comes forward with any information. Even weeks later, the local police have no idea who she is. Their leads all run cold until a new case comes in that's too similar to be ignored. A popular televeision host is attacked and locked in the trunk of her own car. She survives, barely, and is able to only vague hints to the police about her connection to her recent investigations into an organization with members from the highest echelons of society, and a shocking history they'd do anything to cover up. Inspectors Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver von Bodenstein know these attacks are connected. They must dig deep beneath the veneer of bourgeois society to unearth its terrible secret ... before the secret gets to them first." -- Page [4] cover.
