This publication and the accompnaying exhibition echo Jean Genet's famous 1957 essay, L'Atelier d'Alberto Giaocometti. Both explore the various facets of the now famous studio on rue Hippolyte Maidron - laboratory, ritual place and major component of the artist's work. This studio where Giacometti, one of the 20th century's major artists, lived from 1926 to 1965, is probaby placed at the very core of the building, the presentation and the disemination of his work and his own image. This book is illustrated by many previously unseen archives.
In Berlin finden nacheinander Banküberfälle statt. Das LKA ist davon überzeugt, dass es sich jeweils um dieselben Täter handelt. Als es die ersten Toten gibt, fragt sich Hauptkommissarin Valerie Voss, ob die Räuber nur die Nerven verloren haben oder mehr dahinter steckt. Als sie wegen allzu forschen Vorgehens vom Fall abgezogen wird, gibt sie dennoch nicht auf. Zeitgleich wird in einer Villa in Grunewald eine ältere Dame erschlagen und beraubt. Befindet sich der Täter unter den Kindern oder Enkeln der hartherzigen Frau? Wieder einmal bekämpft das LKA Geldgier und Skrupellosigkeit. Zwei Erscheinungen, die typisch für die heutige Zeit sind.
