THE BUTCHERS OF BERLIN

Book ID/图书代码： 00200016B89942

English Summary/英文概要： Berlin 1943.

August Schlegel lives in a world full of questions.

Why is he being called out on a homicide case when he works in financial crimes? Why did the old Jewish solider who won a medal for bravery in a previous war shoot the block warden in the eye, then put a bullet through his own head? Why does Schlegel persist with the case when no one cares about what is happening to the Jews anyway?

And why does Schlegel keep losing his hat?

Then one day Eiko Morgen appears in his office, wearing the dreaded black uniform of the SS, saying he has been assigned to work with Schlegel.

Here is another man who appears to want answers.

Corpses, dressed with fake money, bodies flayed beyond recognition: are these routine murders committed out of rage or is someone trying to tell them something?

Schlegel and Morgen form an uneasy alliance in their efforts to make practical and metaphysical sense of a world turned on its head, where truth can be bought as easily as goods on the black market, where anyone can disappear into the black holes known as the camps, where paranoia, persecution, and pursuit rule, and warped and clever minds play with the memory of other atrocities committed far away.

So how do you solve a succession of terrible killings in a world where murder is sanctioned at the highest level, and nobody wants to ask too many questions?

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 柏林1943年。

奥古斯特生活在一个充满疑问的世界。

为什么他的金融犯罪被称为是杀人案？为什么在以前的战争中获得勇敢勋章的老犹太士兵射击舍监的眼睛，然后将一颗子弹穿过他自己的头？为什么施莱格尔坚持这个案子，当没有人关心什么这个犹太人发生了什么？

为什么施莱格尔不断发脾气？

然后有一天，英子•摩根明天出现在他的办公室，穿着纳粹党卫军可怕的黑色制服，说自己已被分配到与他一起工作。

这里是另一个似乎想要答案的男人。

尸体，揣着假钱，尸体被剥皮面目全非：这些是常规的暴力犯罪还是有人要告诉他们什么？

施莱格尔和摩根组成联盟，努力找到这个本末倒置的世界的实际的和形而上学的意义，这个世界里，真理可以在黑市像买商品一样轻易买到，任何人都可以消失在被称为营地的黑洞里，偏执、迫害、追求统治、扭曲和聪明的头脑玩弄其他很久之前的暴行的记忆。

那么，你如何在一个谋杀被最高层批准，没有人有疑问的世界解决一系列可怕的杀戮事件？(LNL)
