After putting away the head of the Albanian mafia in Hamburg, Homicide Detectives Thomas Ritter and Motz Beck are confronted with a bloody war to control the local drug trade in the mobster's absence. First an Albanian courier is shotgunned to death at the edge of Hamburg Harbor. Then a Hells Angel gets the same treatment on the Alster River. As the bodies pile up, Ritter and Beck are forced to work with an organized crime expert, a burned-out narcotics agent with his own drug issues. Before long, they suspect that their new partner is working for one of the rival gangs.

About the Author
Peter Sarda (www.peter-sarda.com) is a third-generation Californian living and working in Hamburg, Germany. His first novel, "Cash-n-Carry," is a coming-of-age story based on his rough-and-tumble upbringing in the murder capital of the Golden State. His crime thriller series, "Hamburg Noir," is set in his adoptive home, a rugged harbor town with lots of old trading money, a "sinful mile" devoted to the world's oldest profession, and a robust and colorful criminal underworld.
