Der Strom

A chilling discovery on a foggy morning by the Oder: A mummified female corpse draped like for a ritual floats on a flower-adorned raft. Commissioner Ernesto Singer, marked by grief and panic attacks after the death of his 13-year-old daughter, initially wants to distance himself from the case. Shortly thereafter, a murdered tech entrepreneur is found, with a photo of the corpse by the Oder beside him. What is the connection between the cases? The more Singer immerses himself in the investigation, the clearer a web of violence, power, and cruelty becomes. He must – initially very reluctantly – accept that he is dependent on his young colleague Bian Vu. "The Current" is the magnificent start of a new series – fast-paced, dark, and with epic force. Lars Heising, the brilliant new voice of German-language thrillers, delivers profound tension at the highest level.
