A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Detective Jan Fabel is a troubled man. His relationships with the women in his life are becoming increasingly complicated: his partner, Susanne, is looking for commitment. His daughter is considering joining the police and his ex-wife holds him responsible.

Then an English pop star is found dead in Hamburg's red-light district with savage knife wounds. Is this the work of the Angel of St Pauli - a female serial killer who eluded capture 10 years ago?

Links emerge with a series of violent events. A murdered journalist. The death of a Serbian gangster. And a long-forgotten project by East Germany's Stasi conceived at the height of the Cold War, involving a highly-trained group of female assassins, and codenamed Valkyrie.

Fabel's hunt for the truth will bring him up against the most terrifyingly efficient professional killer. The ultimate avenging angel...
