Πολωνία, Μπρέσλαου, 1933: τα πτώματα μιας βαρονέσας και της γκουβερνάντας της κείτονται στο βαγόνι ενός τρένου. Σκορπιοί στριφογυρίζουν στην ανοιγμένη κοιλιά της δεκαεφτάχρονης. Στον τοίχο θα βρεθεί γραμμένο με αίμα ένα σημείωμα σε κάποια άγνωστη ανατολίτικη γλώσσα. Ο διευθυντής της Δίωξης Εγκλήματος Έμπερχαρντ Μοκ καλείται μαζί με τον Χέρμπερτ Άνβαλντ να ανακαλύψουνι τόσο το κίνητρο όσο και την ταυτότητα του δολοφόνου. Η εξιχνίαση όμως ενός μυστηρίου δεν είναι και τόσο απλό ζήτημα στο Μπρέσλαου που ζει υπό τη σκιά της Γκεστάπο. Συνωμοσίες εξυφαίνονται σε κάθε γωνία, η καχυποψία έχει καταλάβει τους πάντες, ενώ όλα είναι προς πώληση. Κατά την έρευνά τους ο Μοκ και ο Άνβαλντ θα έρθουν αντιμέτωποι με αριστοκράτες βουτηγμένους στη σεξουαλική διαστροφή, παραδόπιστους καθηγητές πανεπιστημίου, ένοχα μυστικά. Σε μια πόλη που βουλιάζει στον φόβο, αυτή η σκοτεινή, απόκρυφη υπόθεση θα οδηγήσει τους δύο ερευνητές στα όρια της αντοχής τους πριν καταφέρουν να βρουν τη λύση.

"Wrzesień 1919. Wrocław. Czterech nagich mężczyzn w marynarskich czapkach. Powykręcane ciała. Wykłute oczy. I list: Mock, przyznaj się do błędu. Sprawa czterech marynarzy odebrała sen Eberhardowi Mockowi i całemu miastu. Psychopatyczny morderca czai się w ciemnościach Wrocławia. W zaułkach słychać krzyki konających i jęki rozkoszy. Ślad białego proszku ciągnie się przez wszystkie dzielnice. Zmarli wracają do życia... Ścigany przez duchy Mock jest bliski obłędu. Prowadzi śledztwo, w które nagle wkracza piękna rudowłosa fordanserka. Miłość w objęciach śmierci nabiera zupełnie innego smaku"

When Abwehr Captain Eberhard Mock is called from his New Year's Eve revelries to attend a particularly grisly crime scene, even his notoriously robust stomach is turned. A young girl - and suspected spy - who arrived by train from France just days before, has been found dead in her hotel room, the flesh torn from her cheek by her assailant's teeth. Ill at ease with the increasingly open integration of S.S., Gestapo and police, Mock is partially relieved to be assigned to liaise with officers in Lvov, Poland, where a series of similar crimes - as yet unsolved - cast a long shadow over the town.

An Eberhard Mock Investigation

The Minotaur's Head

The fourth volume in the Inspector Eberhard Mock Quintet, the series called "As Noir as it gets" by the The Independent. When Abwehr Captain Eberhard Mock is called from his New Year's Eve revelries to attend a particularly grisly crime scene, his notoriously robust stomach is turned. A young girl—and suspected spy—who arrived by train from France just days before, has been found dead in her hotel room, the flesh torn from her cheek by her assailant's teeth. Ill at ease with the increasingly open integration of S.S., Gestapo and police, Mock is partially relieved to be assigned to liaise with officers in Lvov, Poland, where a series of similar crimes—as yet unsolved—cast a long shadow over the town. In Lvov he joins the ongoing investigation conducted by Commissioner Popielksi, a fellow classicist who relies on a highly unorthodox method of deduction. Meanwhile, Popielski is worried by the behaviour of his only daughter, Rita. Her head has been turned by her charismatic drama teacher, and now, unbeknownst to her father, she has started receiving letters from an ardent secret admirer. Eberhard Mock—older, a little wiser, but still a libertine at heart and equally at home in the underworld as in the ranks of authority—once again confirms his position as the most outrageous and unpredictable detective in crime fiction.

An Inspector Mock Investigation

“Phantoms of Breslau is a cynical, moody thriller which solidifies Krajewski’s position as a distinctive voice in contemporary European fiction.” —Irish Examiner Breslau, 1919: The hideously battered, naked bodies of four sailors are discovered on an island in the River Oder. When Criminal Assistant Eberhard Mock, back from the war, arrives at the scene to investigate, he finds an enigmatic note addressed to him insisting that he admit to past mistakes and become a believer. As he endeavors to piece together the elements of the brutal crime, Mock combs the brothels and drinking dens of the then still-German city of Breslau and is drawn into an insidious game: it seems that anyone he questions during the course of the investigation is destined to become the next victim. Meanwhile, Mock uncovers a secret society that has the Criminal Assistant himself clearly in its sights. Dark, sophisticated, and uncompromising, the distinctive Breslau series has already received broad critical acclaim. Phantoms of Breslau confirms Eberhard Mock as one of the most outrageous and original detectives in crime fiction.

Phantoms of Breslau

The second installment in the darkly intelligent series that The Independent called “As noir as they get.” 1927, Breslau, Poland: Two elaborate and sadistic murders are discovered within days of each other. The body of an unknown musician, bound and gagged, is found behind a false wall in a shoemaker’s workshop. The victim had been sealed in alive. Elsewhere in the city, the horrifically mutilated body of a locksmith is found. Next to each victim is a torn-out calendar page, with the day of the death marked in blood. Nothing else seems to connect the cases. It falls to Criminal Councillor Eberhard Mock to solve the case, the mystery taking him still further into the Breslau underworld he knows only too well. Meanwhile, his hard-drinking nocturnal habits soon threaten his volatile marriage, and prompt some strange behavior from his wife ... and before long, Mock and his team will be investigating not only two of the grisliest murders in the city’s history, but the councillor’s own wife.

The End of the World in Breslau

But uncovering the truth is no straightforward matter in Breslau. The city is in the grip of the Gestapo, and has become a place where spies are everywhere, corrupt ministers torture confessions from Jewish merchants, and Freemasons guard their secrets with blackmail and violence. And as Mock and his young assistant Herbert Anwaldt plunge into the city's squalid underbelly the case takes on a dark twist of the occult when the mysterious note seems to indicate a ritual killing with roots in the Crusades ...
