Marlow

On the trail of the godfather: a case for Volker Kutscher's Commissioner Gereon Rath. Berlin, late summer 1935. In the Rath family, everyone goes their own way. Foster son Fritz marches with the Hitler Youth to the Nuremberg Rally, Charly struggles as a legal assistant and private detective, while Gereon Rath, now promoted to chief commissioner, has to deal with the deaths that no one else wants. A fatal traffic accident awakens his hunting instinct, even though his superiors remove him from the case and transfer him to another department. It involves Hermann Göring, who is to be blackmailed for secret files, morphine, and dirty politics. And it touches on Charly's life trauma, the death of her father. And on the man Rath never wanted to deal with again: the underworld king Johann Marlow. Breathless tension and a gripping portrait of restless times: Volker Kutscher, whose successful series about Commissioner Gereon Rath was adapted into the film "Babylon Berlin," once again proves his talent for complex crime plots with historical flair.
