Robotham, Mandy,

The hidden storyteller / Mandy Robotham. - viii, 413 pages ; 24 cm

Hamburg, 1946; The war is over, and Germany is in ruins. Posted to an Allied-run Hamburg, reporter Georgie Young returns to the country she fled seven years prior-- at the onset of the conflict-- to find it unrecognisable. Amongst the stark horrors of a bombed-out city crumbling under the weight of millions of displaced souls, she discovers pockets of warmth: a violinist playing amidst the wreckage, couples dancing in the streets, and a nation trying to make amends. Joining forces with local detective Harri Schroder to catch a killer targeting women on the city's streets, curiosity draws Georgie deep into the dark underbelly, and she soon discovers that some secrets of war did not die with Hitler.
