Munich in the 1930s. Young women are being raped and brutally murdered. They are disappearing along quiet country lanes, cycling to destinations they will never reach. A Party member by the name of Josef Kalteis is executed for the crimes, but is he really guilty? Could the murderer still be out there?
Kathie has come to Munich looking for work, but found herself drawn into the city's sleazy underworld. Pretty and dark-haired, she fits the profile of the murderer's victims exactly. As she tries to reconcile her naive hopes for happiness and true love with the day-to-day struggle for existence, it becomes clear that she, like the others, is in grave danger.
Told in a hypnotic collage of interrogation logs, witness statements and direct, frightening insights into the mind of the murderer and his victims, Ice Cold is the second novel from the award-winning Andrea Maria Schenkel.
