End of the World in Breslau
A man bound, gagged and sealed alive inside a wall to die. Another quartered, his fingers severed. One of the victims was a musician, the other a locksmith. The only detail that the killings have in common - apart from their abnormal savagery - is a page of a calendar with the day of the death marked in blood. To solve these bizarre murders, Criminal Councillor Eberhard Mock must search for answers in Breslau's underworld, a decadent demi-monde he knows all too well. As he pursues the investigation, his marriage is in decline. In revenge for his misdemeanours, Mock's wife embarks on a sexual odyssey of her own involving a mysterious figure who appears to be connected with the apocalyptic fever gripping the city and high society of Breslau in the late Twenties. Mock, himself the most ambiguous and complex of policemen, must confront a cult that preaches the imminent end of the world.
Death in Breslau
Breslau 1933: the mutilated body of a young woman, an aristocrat, is found dead on a train. Scorpions writhe in her slashed stomach, a horrifying image that becomes crucial to the investigation. Inspector Eberhard Mock is called to head an investigation that leads deep into the citys dirty underbelly, where perverted aristocrats cavort with prostitutes, corrupt ministers torture confessions from lowly Jews and Freemasons guard their secrets with blackmail and daggers.
The Minotaur's Head
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 ...
Phantoms of Breslau
Breslau, 1919: the hideously battered, naked bodies of four sailors are discovered on an island in the River Oder. As he pieces together the elements of this brutal crime, Criminal Assistant Mock combs the brothels and drinking dens 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. At the same time, he is haunted by appalling nightmares; only nights spent drinking and carousing can keep his demons at bay. Dark, sophisticated and uncompromising, the distinctive Breslau series has already received broad critical acclaim. Phantoms of Breslau confirms Eberhard Mock as the most outrageous and original detective in crime fiction.
Death in Breslau
Breslau 1933: the mutilated body of a young woman and her lady's maid are found sprawled in a train, scorpians writhing in their slashed and naked stomachs. An indecipherable note in an apparently oriental language lies next to the lifeless bodies. Inspector Mock is called to head the investigation. With his young assistant, Herbert Anwaldt, he must discover the perpetrator of this most macabre of crimes.
Mock. Golem
Breslau, 1920. W mieście pojawia się sekta „mesjaszy”, którzy na ulicach wpadają w taneczny trans. Przewodzi im cyniczny dwulicowy guru Theodor Jauch – „tańczący Jan Chrzciciel”, który umiejętnie podsyca tlący się w mieście antysemityzm. Wkrótce on sam stanie się narzędziem w rękach spiskowców, którzy nie cofną się przed niczym, by osiągnąć swój cel. Eberhard Mock zmaga się z najstraszniejszym ze swoich demonów – demonem alkoholizmu. Każdego dnia walczy z samym sobą i próbuje rozwikłać mroczną tajemnicę zaginięcia małej Rosemarie. Wie, że jeśli odnajdzie dziewczynkę, raz na zawsze wyrwie się ze szponów nałogu. By tego dokonać, podejmuje się wykonania niebezpiecznego zlecenia. Jeszcze nie wie, że każdy jego ruch śledzi tajne sprzysiężenie. Krok za krokiem Mock zbliża się do rozwiązania zagadki i poznaje coraz bardziej przerażające strony natury ludzkiej. Wkrótce odkryje, kto jest jego przyjacielem, a kto wrogiem. Wkrótce zmieni się w budzącą litość i przerażenie kreaturę. Wkrótce spotka zło, o którego istnieniu nawet nie śnił.
